Special Counsel Inquiry Leaves Biden and Garland in Awkward Spots

January 14, 2023

Under Mr. Garland’s order, Mr. Hur is authorized to prosecute any crimes arising from the inquiry or to refer matters for prosecution to federal attorneys in other jurisdictions. Unlike Mr. Trump, Mr. Biden so far as is known did not resist requests to return documents, and in fact his lawyers discovered them without being asked and promptly returned them. When a reporter asked Mr. Biden at an unrelated event on Thursday why classified documents were kept alongside his prized Corvette, Mr. Biden replied: “My Corvette is in a locked garage. So it’s not like they’re sitting out in the street.”“But as I said earlier this week,” he added, “people know I take classified documents and classified material seriously. I also said we’re cooperating fully and completely with the Justice Department’s review.”The post Special Counsel Inquiry Leaves Biden and Garland in Awkward Spots appeared first on New York Times.
