Robert Hur testifies his findings did NOT 'exonerate' Biden: Special Counsel confirms White House did try and 'change' report before it was published
Special Counsel Robert Hur rejected claims from Democrats he 'completely exonerated' Joe Biden by not charging him with mishandling classified documents during his fiery appearance in Congress.
He also revealed that the White House requested 'certain changes' to the report when he sent over a draft saying Biden had a bad memory.
Hur then agreed with Republican Rep. Jim Jordan that 'pride and money' motivated Biden to keep sensitive files, because he used some of the materials for a memoir that earned him $8million.
In a tense exchange with Rep. Pramila Jayapal over whether his damning report cleared Biden, Hur said: 'I did not exonerate him'.'
He also said that the word 'exoneration' did not appear in the report.
Japayal said 'Mr. Hur, it's my time' when they spoke over each other during his bombshell testimony in Congress.
At one point, Rep. Will Kiley, R-Calif., suggested to Hur that a 'reasonable juror' could have voted to convict Biden based on the facts Hur had put forth.
'Correct,' said Hur.
Democrats and Republicans fired fierce questions at Hur during his appearance at Capitol Hill on Tuesday, a month after he released the report that said Biden had a bad memory and 'diminished faculties'.
He insisted politics played 'no part whatsoever' in his findings and rejected Democrat suggestions his damning report was a bid to get Donald Trump elected.
Republicans also interrogated Hur, and asked why Biden wasn't charged when Trump was.
Hur began his testimony by revealing Biden 'willfully' retained classified materials as a private citizen and gave them to Mark Zwonitzer - the ghost writer of his $8 million book - who later tried to destroy them.
Hur says Biden did corrupt things for money and the White House tried to change the report before it was published.
Biden is corrupt, senile and has memory issues.
