The U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary, also called the House Judiciary Committee, is a standing committee of the United States House of Representatives. It is charged with overseeing the administration of justice within the federal courts, administrative agencies and Federal law enforcement entities. Today the House Judiciary Committee is hearing testimony from Robert Hur, the special counsel who investigated Joe Biden's handling of classified documents. The hearing comes after Hur released a nearly 400-page report last month that declined to charge Biden for 'willfully' retaining classified documents in part because, he argued, it would be difficult for a jury to convict him because he would likely have presented himself as 'a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory'. Hur is no longer with the Justice Department, according to a department spokesperson - meaning he will be testifying about his investigation as a private citizen.
