WASHINGTON (AA) - US Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Thursday the appointment of a special counsel to investigate President Joe Biden's classified documents matter.
The appointment of Robert Hur came after the discovery of two batches of classified documents from Biden while he was vice president.
Garland said he notified the designated members of each house of Congress of the appointment.
He said he signed an order appointing Hur to the matter, which he said authorizes him to investigate whether any person or entity violated the law.
