Special Counsel Robert Hur will be facing Congress to explain the President of the United States Joe Biden’s classified document report.
The report found Mr Biden wilfully held troves of files, but decided to charge him with a crime.
According to Mr Hur, a jury would view the president as a “well meaning, elderly man” with a “poor memory.” His comments has sparked different reactions across the country, as many voters see him as unfit for second term.
Mr Hur alleged in his February report that the president struggled to recall major events from his time serving as vice-president, and could not remember when exactly his term in office had begun.
But Biden has come out to dismiss the reports saying, “I’m well-meaning, and I’m an elderly man, and I know what the hell I’m doing.”
House Republicans have asked Mr Hur to turn over recordings and transcripts of his interviews with Mr Biden, which he made during his year-long investigation.
A jury may find him not guilty since he is storing the documents in insecure locations. But the Republicans have continued to attack Mr Biden and have criticized Mr Hur’s refusal to charge him, comparing it with similar charges filed against former President Donald Trump.
“Having a poor memory does not absolve you from violating the Espionage Act. Being old and elderly does not absolve you from violating the Espionage Act,” Florida Rep Byron Donalds said on Fox News on Sunday.
In June, Mr Trump was charged with seven counts over his handling of classified documents after he left the White House, with a trial potentially scheduled for this summer.
