House Republicans are practically salivating at the chance to dig into President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents with their newly established oversight authority.
But their calls for the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel for the case, which Attorney General Merrick Garland did on Thursday, could result in less cooperation from government investigators.That prospect has so far not slowed down GOP lawmakers, who are probing the discovery of sensitive documents at Biden's private office in Washington, D.C., and home in Wilmington, Delaware.
But the appointment of Robert Hur to lead the special counsel investigation in Biden’s case could stymie some of the Republicans’ efforts to get answers. For many GOP critics, the agency’s handling of the Biden document case is just the latest data point to support their argument that the Justice Department operates with a bias against conservatives.
And Trump’s legal team faces allegations of obstructing investigators, while Biden’s legal team has maintained that it has cooperated with the Justice Department at every step.
