BIDEN'S BURDEN US
Attorney General Merrick Garland named Robert Hur Thursday, Jan. 12, 2023 (Friday in Manila) to investigate President Joe Biden's handling of classified documents, after a furor over secret papers found at his former office exploded with the discovery of a second batch. The new find — like the original, from Biden's time as vice president — was uncovered in the garage of his home in Wilmington, Delaware, where he often spends weekends, the White House said. Garland said Hur, an appointee of Biden's predecessor Donald Trump, would be empowered to examine whether the cache violated any law. The appointment came hours after the White House acknowledged the second batch of papers but did not address their contents — supercharging a scandal over a first set found at a Washington think tank where Biden had an office. Republicans in Congress, who have been accusing the White House of a cover-up over the affair, swiftly announced their own inquiry to run independently of the criminal probe. Hur is a former assistant US attorney who worked in the Department of Justice from 2007 until 2014 and returned to public service under Trump as the principal associate deputy attorney general. He promised a swift investigation and pledged to be 'fair, impartial and dispassionate'.
