‘Got to do one or the other,’ the senator said.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) said Friday that Attorney General Merrick Garland should invoke the 25th Amendment if he declines to charge President Joe Biden for the president’s handling of classified documents.

Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report found that President Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen,” but that no criminal charges were warranted.
