White House Asked Special Counsel to Water Down Descriptions of Biden’s Memory Lapses in Final Report, Hur Testifies

The White House asked special counsel Robert Hur to soften his description of President Joe Biden’s memory lapses in his final report detailing his investigation into Biden’s retention of classified documents, Hur testified on Tuesday.

Testifying before the House Judiciary Committee, Hur answered in the affirmative when asked by Representatives Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) and Tom Tiffany (R., Wisc.) whether the White House had asked him to change portions of his report detailing Biden’s difficulties with memory loss before submitting the final report to Attorney General Merrick Garland, who then made it public.
