Special counsel Robert Hur testified on Tuesday that the White House attempted to pressure him into changing aspects of his report on President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents.
The revelation came during Hur’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, in which Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., probed the special counsel head about a Feb. 5 letter the White House Counsel sent to Hur days before his report became public. When Tiffany asked whether the White House requested he “change [the report’s] references to the president’s poor memory,” Hur confirmed the administration did, in fact, make such a request.
“There was a request, yes,” Hur said, contradicting claims issued earlier in the hearing by Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., who asserted Biden did not “seek to redact a single word of Mr. Hur’s report.”
“Did the White House try to weigh in with your investigation on elements of that report and frankly try to get that report changed,” Jordan asked, to which Hur replied, “They did request certain edits and changes to the draft report.”
The White House’s pressure campaign on Hur to alter his report before its release to the public appears to fall within the “obstruction of justice” charge Democrats accused former President Trump of committing, as it relates to Robert Mueller’s baseless investigation into whether the Republican president colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election. Of course, the baseless claim that Trump obstructed Mueller’s investigation didn’t stop Democrats from relentlessly accusing the former president of obstruction or then-Attorney General Bill Barr of stopping such charges from being filed.
