Special counsel Robert Hur, who has been investigating for months, conducted the interview of the president, a person familiar with the situation said
President Biden was interviewed over the last two days as part of the investigation led by special counsel Robert K. Hur into the discovery of classified documents at Biden’s private office and Delaware home, a White House spokesman said Monday night.
“The voluntary interview was conducted at the White House over two days, Sunday and Monday, and concluded Monday,” Ian Sams, a White House spokesman, said in a statement. “As we have said from the beginning, the President and the White House are cooperating with this investigation, and as it has been appropriate, we have provided relevant updates publicly, being as transparent as we can consistent with protecting and preserving the integrity of the investigation. We would refer other questions to the Justice Department at this time.”
Based on what is publicly known about the two classified-documents probes, the Trump investigation appears significantly different from the Biden investigation. The number of documents involved in the Biden probe appears far smaller, and Biden has said that he has cooperated with investigators and handed over the documents as soon as they were discovered.
Some close to Biden have been frustrated that Hur’s investigation has not wrapped up as quickly.
