Robert Hur resigns ahead of House hearing with help from 'Trumpworld figures': report
Robert Hur resigns ahead of House hearing with help from 'Trumpworld figures': report (msn.com)
"According to multiple sources familiar with Mr Hur’s plans, the special counsel, who is appearing before the Judiciary Committee at the request of the Republican majority led by Ohio Representative Jim Jordan, has arranged his departure from the Department of Justice to be official as of Monday 11 March, one day before he is scheduled to appear on Capitol Hill," wrote Andrew Feinberg.
"Instead of appearing as a DOJ employee who is bound by the ethical guidelines which govern the behaviour of federal prosecutors, he will appear as a private citizen with no constraints on his testimony."
“That makes it even more problematic from our perspective," said a source close to Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee. "If he was still a federal employee, DOJ would have to approve his testimony and they’d be involved in his appearance tomorrow.”
This comes as Hur, a U.S. attorney from the Trump administration, is
under fire by political commentators and legal experts for the partisan nature of his final report, with some accusing him of gratuitously attacking Biden's character.
