In a fiery and revealing exchange during Tuesday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing, Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) grilled former special counsel Robert Hur about President Joe Biden’s motivation for keeping classified documents after his term as vice president had concluded.
At the heart of the matter was an $8 million book deal Biden had been offered at the time. Jordan’s questioning centered on why the president would have taken classified documents in violation of the law after leaving the White House.
Hur, who had been tasked with investigating Biden’s alleged mishandling of classified documents, indicated that his final report on the matter did not directly address the president’s motivations. However, Jordan debunked this statement.
"Page 231, you said this: 'President Biden had strong motivations'—that's a key word. We're getting a motive now: 'President Biden had strong motivations to ignore the proper procedures for safeguarding the classified information in his notebook.' Why did he have strong motivations? 'Because he decided months before leaving office to write a book.'" //

Chairman Jordan:
"Joe Biden knew the rules, you know he knew the rules, and Joe Biden told us he knew the rules. So Mr. Hur, why did he break them?"
