EXCERPT:
JAYAPAL: “So this lengthy, expensive, and independent investigation resulted in a complete exoneration of President Joe Biden. For every document you discussed in your report, you found insufficient evidence that the president violated any laws about possession or retention of classified materials. The primary law that you analyzed for potential prosecution was part of the Espionage Act 18 U.S.C. 793(E) which criminalizes willful retention or disclosure of national defense information. Is that correct?”
HUR: “Congressman, that is one statute that we analyzed, I need to go back and — and make sure that I take — take note of the word that you use exoneration. That is not a word that we’ve used in the report.” [crosstalk]
JAYAPAL: “Mr. Hur, I’m going to continue with my questions.”
