WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Thursday that a special counsel will be tasked with investigating U.S. President Joe Biden after batches of classified documents were discovered in a private office used by Biden and later at the president’s private residence.
Garland made the announcement at a January 12 press conference in which he noted that classified documents from Biden’s time as vice president to former president Barack Obama had been discovered at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement think tank in Washington, D.C. in November and turned over to the National Archives.
He also mentioned that an additional trove of classified documents were this week recovered from a garage and an adjacent room at Biden’s private residence in Wilmington, Delaware.
“Earlier today I signed an order appointing Robert Hur as special counsel for the matter I’ve just described,” Garland told reporters Thursday. “The document authorizes him to investigate whether any person or entity violated the law in connection with this matter.”
