Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Thursday that he had appointed Robert K. Hur, a former United States Attorney in Maryland Robert and a senior Justice Department official, to act as special adviser investigating the handling of classified documents found in a former office of President Joe Biden, as well as his Delaware home.
After the appointment, the name of Robert Hur has not stopped ringing in the media and social networks because it is a former federal prosecutor appointed by Donald Trump who prosecuted gang violence, drug trafficking and firearms offenses, as well as white collar crimes while serving as the United States Attorney for the District of Maryland from 2018 to 2021.
Before Trump’s appointment, Hur worked for the Chief JusticeWilliam Rehnquist, of the Supreme Court of the United States, as well as for Judge Alex Kozinski of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
He was also a partner at King & Spalding in Washington.DC, where he focused on government investigations and comprehensive litigation.
Garland is confident that Hur’s experience will lead him to clarify this case “As a federal prosecutor, he oversaw some of the department’s most important national security, public corruption and other high-profile issues. I will make sure Mr. Hur gets all the resources he needs to do his job.”.
