Robert Hur to testify on Biden document investigation: Live updates

Special Counsel Robert Hur prepared for Tuesday’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee with assistance from the Justice Department’s Office of Legislative Affairs, according to a person close to him.

It’s notable that Ho received support from the Justice Department for this hearing, as he retired from the department last week, even though the White House objects to some aspects of his report. However, this is an example of the support that Heo received from the Ministry of Justice.

CNN has reached out to the Department of Justice for comment.

After leaving the Justice Department, Ho held additional mock hearings with attorney Bill Burke and others in preparation for Tuesday’s hearing, according to people familiar with the matter.

Ho asked why Republicans did not indict Biden and predicted that Democrats would criticize him for his comments about Biden’s memory.

A person close to Mr. Xu said he wants to stick to the traditional approach of the special prosecutor, who does not discuss investigative methods in public hearings or deviate from the report’s conclusions.

According to the person, Mr. Hsu does not admit that Mr. Biden is “innocent,” but emphasizes that he does not think he will win in court if he charges.

“He’s not trying to make anyone happy,” the source said. “It shows he’s independent.”

After the White House released the transcript of Biden’s interview, a source told CNN that the White House was concerned that Xu would reveal additional information during the investigation.
