The Special Counsel appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate whether any person broke the law in handling classified documents found in an office and at the home of President Joe Biden previously oversaw prosecutions related to improper handling of classified information when he served as U.S. Attorney for Maryland.
Special Counsel Robert Hur, also a former federal prosecutor, oversaw some of the “most significant cases in history” regarding the prosecution of a former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor and employee who both mishandled classified information, the DOJ said in a release when Hur resigned as U.S. Attorney.
