In a blow to President Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday appointed a special counsel to investigate the president’s handling of classified documents found at his private office along with recent discovery at his Delaware garage.
Outgoing Attorney General William Barr said he saw no reason or has “no plan” to appoint a special counsel to oversee either investigation related to President-elect Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, or to look into President Trump’s claims of election fraud that occurred during the 2020 presidential election.
