Former Special Counsel Robert Hur got into a heated exchange with squad Rep. Primila Jayapal (D-WA) during the hearing on President Biden’s classified documents scandal on Tuesday. Jayapal tried to say that Hur’s report exonerated President Biden — Hur disagreed.
“This lengthy, expensive, and independent investigation resulted in a complete exoneration of President Joe Biden.

“I need to go back and take note of a word that you used — ‘exoneration’ … I did not exonerate him,” Hur told Jayapal as the congresswoman attempted to talk over him.
