Biden Undergoes Two Days of Special Counsel Questioning in Classified Documents Case
President Joe Biden faced questioning from special counsel Robert Hur over the weekend regarding classified documents found in his possession. The voluntary interview took place at the White House over two days and concluded on Monday, according to The New York Times.
As world events unfolded, Biden had a limited public schedule on Monday, including the ongoing crisis in Israel. The investigation into the slaughter of civilians, including at least 11 Americans, was met with international concern. Biden also had a limited public schedule on Sunday.
Biden had been keeping classified documents at his home in Delaware and at the offices of the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Biden Center in Washington. These documents were from his time as a senator and vice president, and were still in his possession long after leaving those offices and before his election as president.

The classified documents were discovered during three searches between November 2022 and January 2023. This discovery came shortly after classified documents were found at former President Donald Trump’s Florida residence, leading to an indictment against Trump for mishandling classified information.
Special counsel Robert Hur was appointed in January by Attorney General Merrick Garland. The interviews with Biden may indicate that the investigation is nearing its conclusion, according to Reuters.
“As we have said from the beginning, the President and the White House are cooperating with this investigation, and as it has been appropriate, we have provided relevant updates publicly, being as transparent as we can consistent with protecting and preserving the integrity of the investigation,” said White House spokesman Ian Sams.
Biden was found to have up to 30 classified documents, including highly sensitive intelligence briefs about foreign adversaries, as reported by CNN. Some of these documents were discovered by the president’s personal attorneys, who did not have security clearances. Documents found at Biden’s Delaware home were even found in his garage, next to his Chevrolet Corvette.
“We are confident that a thorough review will show that these documents were inadvertently misplaced,” said an attorney for Biden after Hur was appointed special counsel, according to ABC News.
The Washington Post reported that people close to the president expressed frustration that the investigation into Biden did not conclude as quickly as the one into former Vice President Mike Pence. The investigation into Pence’s classified documents ended in June with no charges filed.
During his August vacation, Biden denied reports that the special counsel wanted to interview him about the classified documents he kept. “There’s no such request and no such interest,” he said, according to NBC News.
The White House indicated that the interview with Hur had been scheduled several weeks in advance.

It has been reported that President Joe Biden underwent two days of questioning by special counsel Robert Hur regarding classified documents found in his possession. The voluntary interview took place at the White House and concluded on Monday, according to The New York Times. This development has raised concerns both nationally and internationally.
Despite ongoing world events such as the crisis in Israel, President Biden had a limited public schedule on both Sunday and Monday. The investigation into the slaughter of civilians, including American citizens, has been met with international concern. Biden had been keeping classified documents from his time as a senator and vice president at his home in Delaware and at the offices of the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Biden Center in Washington. These documents remained in his possession long after leaving those offices and before his election as president.
The discovery of classified documents came after searches conducted between November 2022 and January 2023. This discovery mirrors the findings of classified documents at former President Donald Trump’s Florida residence, leading to an indictment against Trump for mishandling classified information.
Special counsel Robert Hur was appointed in January by Attorney General Merrick Garland. The fact that President Biden has been interviewed by Hur may indicate that the investigation is nearing its conclusion, according to Reuters. The White House has reiterated its cooperation and transparency throughout the investigation.
CNN reported that President Biden was found to have up to 30 classified documents, including highly sensitive intelligence briefs. Some of these documents were discovered by the president’s personal attorneys who did not have security clearances. Shockingly, documents were even found in the president’s garage, next to his Chevrolet Corvette.
President Biden’s attorney claimed that these documents were inadvertently misplaced. However, frustrations have been expressed by those close to the president over the length of the investigation compared to the swift conclusion of the investigation into former Vice President Mike Pence’s classified documents in June.
In August, Biden denied reports that the special counsel wanted to interview him about the classified documents he possessed. The White House stated that the interview with Hur had been scheduled several weeks in advance.
The developments in the investigation into President Biden’s possession of classified documents have sparked interest and concern globally. The outcome of this investigation will have significant implications for the administration and its credibility. As the investigation progresses, it is crucial that transparency and accountability remain at the forefront to ensure public trust in the handling of classified information by those in power.
