Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday appointed former federal prosecutor Robert Hur as special counsel to investigate the discovery of classified government records at the private home and office of President Joe Biden. A first batch of classified documents was found Nov. 2 by lawyers for the president in an office in a Washington think tank that Biden had used while a private citizen. The attorney general said that Lausch, who himself was appointed by Trump, last week recommended that he name a special counsel in the inquiry. "We have cooperated closely with the Justice Department throughout its review, and we will continue that cooperation with the Special Counsel," Sauber said. Garland in November appointed another former federal prosecutor, Jack Smith, as special counsel to oversee two criminal investigations of Trump.

Neither Trump nor Biden should have had any classified material in their possession. It is unlawful to knowingly or willfully remove or retain classified material. Failure to properly store and secure classified material poses risks to national security if it should fall into the wrong hands. The matter was referred to the Justice Department, which issued a grand jury subpoena last May seeking the return of all classified records. It is a crime only if the retention and removal of classified records is intentional.

Less clear is whether there are aggravating factors — such as whether the Justice Department can prove Trump obstructed justice by failing to turn over documents despite a grand jury subpoena. Martin’s lawyers said he was a hoarder, and prosecutors concluded that he had not given classified information to anyone.
