Special counsel Robert Her appeared on Capitol Hill today to address the decision not to recommend charges against President Biden for mishandling classified documents. The report by Her was met with criticism from both Republicans and Democrats, with Republicans questioning the lack of charges despite findings of Biden's mishandling of classified information. Democrats accused Her of injecting politics into the report, citing references to Biden's age and memory.
During the hearing, Her defended his decision, stating that partisan politics played no role in his work or decision-making process. He clarified that while he did not recommend charges, it did not mean Biden was deemed innocent, but rather that he did not believe he could win the case at trial.
President Biden, who was meeting with Polish leaders at the White House, announced a new military aid package for Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia. The aid includes munitions and rounds to support Ukraine against Russian attacks, utilizing cost savings from existing Pentagon contracts.
Biden emphasized the importance of standing together with allies like Poland and supporting Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. He urged Congress to pass urgent funding for national security, warning of the risks posed by Putin's actions in Ukraine and the potential threat to Europe and the free world.
The hearing shed light on the complexities of the investigation into Biden's handling of classified information and the political dynamics surrounding the issue. As the debate continues, the focus remains on ensuring security for Ukraine and strengthening alliances to counter external threats.
