Washington, D.C. — During today’s House Judiciary Committee hearing on Special Counsel Robert Hur’s findings in his investigation into President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents, a significant revelation emerged. Special Counsel Hur admitted that Biden lied in response to questioning by U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz (FL-01).

When asked by Rep. Gaetz about statements made by Joe Biden regarding classified information, Special Counsel Hur candidly stated: “That is inconsistent with the findings based on the evidence.”

Rep. Gaetz, in response, emphasized the discrepancy by stating, "Yes, it’s a lie, just what regular people would say." Continuing the exchange, Rep. Gaetz highlighted further inconsistencies in Biden's statements uncovered during the investigation.

Special Counsel Hur clarified a key point raised by Rep. Gaetz, saying, "I need to disagree with at least one thing that you said, which is that I found that all of the elements were met." This led to a discussion about the intent element and the challenges in proving intent in the case.

Throughout the hearing, Rep. Gaetz pressed Special Counsel Hur on various aspects of the investigation, including concerns about classified documents found in the garage and foreign involvement in the mishandling of sensitive information. Special Counsel Hur maintained the impartiality and thoroughness of the investigation, stating, "Congressman, we conducted a thorough, impartial and fair investigation."

The questioning intensified as Rep. Gaetz inquired about the handling of evidence by a ghostwriter and the perceived double standards in charging individuals with obstruction of justice. Rep. Gaetz raised concerns about the treatment of different parties in the investigation, highlighting discrepancies in the application of legal standards.

In the culmination of the hearing, Rep. Gaetz expressed frustration over perceived inconsistencies in the investigative process, emphasizing the need for equal treatment under the law. The exchange underscored the contentious nature of the investigation and the differing interpretations of the evidence presented.
