AG Garland Announces Special Counsel to Probe Biden's Classified Document Scandal

By Spencer Brown | Townhall.com

In an awkward turn of events, President Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Thursday afternoon that the Biden DOJ was appointing a special counsel to investigate President Biden and his apparent mishandling of classified government documents that were found in Biden's Delaware garage and a University of Pennsylvania office he used in D.C.

Garland announced that Robert Hur — a veteran of the Justice Department and the former U.S. Attorney in the District of Maryland under Trump who handled high-profile national security matters — would conduct an investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents following his service as vice president in the Obama administration to determine whether any illegal activity took place. 

The appointment of a special counsel follows an initial investigation of the mishandled documents by a U.S. attorney in Illinois, and an FBI assessment to discern if classified information was mishandled by Biden in accordance with federal law, the result of which led Garland to appoint Hur as special counsel to carry out a full investigation of President Biden's actions.

After being named by Garland, Special Counsel Hur released a statement saying "I will conduct the assigned investigation with fair, impartial, and dispassionate judgment" and he intends "to follow the facts swiftly and thoroughly, without fear or favor, and will honor the trust placed in me to perform this service."

The White House confirmed Thursday morning that President Joe Biden improperly stored classified information in his Wilmington, Delaware garage. 

Now, it's been confirmed that Hunter Biden had unlimited access to the garage where the classified information was stored. 

In fact, Hunter claimed to own the house in 2018. 

As extensively reported, Hunter Biden conducted millions of dollars in shady business deals with foreign adversaries during and after Joe Biden served as President Barack Obama's vice president. Despite denials, Joe Biden worked as a business partner to Hunter Biden, who requested keys be cut for him to a joint office space. Keys were also cut for Gongwen Dong, a Chinese Communist Party representative for a major Chinese energy company. 

In addition to improperly storing classified information in his garage, Joe Biden also had classified documents in the unsecured office space. The documents reportedly contain information about Ukraine, where Hunter Biden made $80,000 per month on the board of notoriously corrupt Ukrainian gas company Burisma.
