Special counsel Robert Hur is scheduled to testify in a public hearing before the House Judiciary Committee on March 12, according to sources familiar with the matter.
It comes after House Republicans requested his testimony earlier this week, in addition to requests for audio recordings and transcripts related to Hur’s investigation into President Joe Biden’s handling of classified information.

House Republicans have also asked the Department of Justice to release the full transcripts and recordings of Hur’s interviews with Biden.
Last week, Hur said in his report that he will not recommend charges against Biden for his handling of classified documents while out of office, despite finding evidence that Biden “willfully retained” materials. At the same time, Hur painted a dim picture of the president — one that his political opponents immediately seized on — as an elderly man with memory issues.
The White House has forcefully pushed back on assertions made in the report related to Biden’s mental acuity.
