Former special counsel Robert Hur recently testified before Congress to address questions about his investigation into President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents.
The scrutiny from Republicans stems from their dissatisfaction with the fact that the investigation did not lead to charges against Biden. Meanwhile, Democrats are pushing back, characterizing Biden as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

During the questioning, Rep. James Comer (R-KY) raised concerns about Hur’s report and sought clarification on Dana Remus’s role as President Biden’s former White House counsel.
However, there was a moment of confusion when Hur hesitated and eventually corrected himself, stating that Remus was President Obama’s former White House counsel, not President Biden’s.

It’s crucial to note that Dana Remus served as the deputy counsel for ethics during the Obama administration and was the White House counsel for Biden from January 2021 to July 2022. She also held the general counsel position for Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign.
The exchange highlights the contentious nature of the discussions surrounding Biden’s handling of classified documents and the contrasting narratives presented by Republicans and Democrats.
The confusion over Remus’s role further complicates the situation, emphasizing the challenges of navigating these politically charged investigations.
