Legal experts told Fox News Digital that former President Trump's indictment will increase the political pressure on President Biden's special counsel.
The indictment ofin Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation is casting renewed attention onto another, similar probe – special counsel Robert Hur's investigation of President Biden's handling of classified documents.
Several troves of classified documents, some reportedly dating back to Biden's Senate days, were found in the president's possession within the last year, including documents found at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C., as well as in the garage of his Wilmington, Delaware, home. In January, Attorney General Merrick Garland named Hur as special counsel overseeing the Biden probe.
George Washington University law professor and Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley told Fox News Digital the"question is whether Hur will aggressively pursue the possibility of false statements by President Biden and whether he has requested an interview with the president." "Hur can insulate President Biden by avoiding a direct interview or statement from him on these facts. It is a crime to lie to federal investigators under 18 U.S.C. 1001. With Trump, the Justice Department was highly aggressive. The public is likely to watch to see if Hur shows the same no-holds-barred attitude of Smith."that Biden should receive the"Trump treatment.
