Special Counsel Robert Hurd has decided not to prosecute President Biden in relation to classified documents, citing concerns about the president's age potentially influencing a jury. The decision was based on an interview with President Biden, and a transcript of the interview is currently being reviewed for any classified information.
The White House and the Department of Justice are working to ensure that any classified information is redacted before the transcript is released to Congress. The DOJ has met the deadline to respond to Congress but has not provided specific documents, stating that intelligence agencies need to review the transcript first.
If any information is deemed classified, the White House may invoke executive privilege, which could further delay the process of turning over the transcript. Attorney General Garland is pressuring the White House to make a decision on the matter, emphasizing the DOJ's commitment to responding to requests promptly.
Special Counsel Robert Hurd is scheduled to testify publicly before Congress on March 12th, where he is expected to address questions about the interview with President Biden. The investigation revolves around classified information found at the president's home and personal office, with the focus now on ensuring transparency while upholding legal and departmental standards.
