House GOP seeks transcripts, recordings of Biden interviews with special counsel

Washington — House Republicans are requesting recordings and transcripts of special counsel Robert Hur's interviews with President Biden after a lengthy report criticized his handling of classified documents. 

Hur's report, released last week, did not charge Mr. Biden with a crime, but said he "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen." 

In a letter to the Justice Department on Monday, the Republican chairmen of the House Oversight, Judiciary and Ways and Means Committees requested transcripts, audio and video recordings and any other records related to Hur's Oct. 8 and Oct. 9 interviews with Mr. Biden.
