White House Criticized Over Handling of Hur Investigation

Both allies and critics question strategy as calls for interview transcript release grow amid scrutiny of Biden's memory.

The White House and President Biden face criticism over the handling of the Hur investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents, with allies and critics alike questioning the decision-making process.
Special counsel Robert Hur's report, while not leading to criminal charges against Biden, casts a negative light on the president's memory and decision-making, particularly during a five-hour interview.
Both Biden's allies and rivals are calling for the public release of the transcript from his interview with Hur, arguing it could provide a clearer picture of the president's mental acuity and the investigation's findings.
The White House's response to the Hur report and the decision to have Biden address the media shortly after its release have been polarizing, with some questioning the strategy's effectiveness.
House Republicans express interest in having Hur testify before Congress, as debates over the potential release of the interview transcript and its implications continue.
