China News Service, Washington, March 12 (Reporter Sha Hanting) Robert Hur, the special prosecutor responsible for the investigation of US President Biden's "secret documents", attended the hearing of the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives on the 12th local time. He was questioned by “Torture” by Republican and Democratic lawmakers.

　　On February 8, Hull released the Biden "Secret Documents" investigation report, saying that Biden had deliberately retained confidential materials after leaving office as Vice President of the United States, but he would not be criminally prosecuted.

The report described Biden as an "elderly man with poor memory" and was criticized by Democrats.

　　At the hearing that day, both Republican and Democratic lawmakers expressed dissatisfaction with Hull's investigative report.

Republicans believe that both Biden and former President Trump deliberately withheld confidential materials, but the result was that Biden was not prosecuted while Trump was, showing the "double standards" of the judicial system.

Democrats responded that Biden had been actively cooperating during the investigation, in sharp contrast to Trump's refusal to return classified documents.

　　Democrats expressed strong dissatisfaction with the report's description of Biden's "poor memory."

Democratic Congressman Hank Johnson said that Hull's description of Biden in the report was "slanderous" and that such statements would be used by Republicans who would say that Biden is "too old to be president."

　　In response to criticism from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers, Hule said, "Partisan politics have no place in my job."

He said the investigation found evidence that Biden knowingly withheld classified material but "did not meet the threshold to recommend legal action" and that Biden cooperated with the investigation.

　　Huer also said that the description of Biden's memory was "necessary, accurate and fair" and "I did not unfairly denigrate the president."

　　In his investigative report, Hull described Biden as a "compassionate, friendly older man with a poor memory."

In response, Biden said, "My memory is fine."

　　Biden, 81, is the oldest sitting president in U.S. history.

Currently, both Biden and Trump are running to be the next president.
