Christie says Hur report doesn’t cross any lines

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie says Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report investigating President Biden’s handling of classified documents does not cross any red lines despite the president’s overt characteristics. Stated.

“I don’t think so. You know, I’ve been doing this job for seven years as a federal prosecutor in the fifth largest office in the United States. In fact, at the beginning of the report, I said, ‘Willfully and knowingly They had to explain the reason for not prosecuting the case.” Well, that’s against the law,” Christie said on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” when asked if the report had crossed the line.

Last week, Mr. Xu released a report on Mr. Biden’s classified documents. The newspaper did not recommend charging Biden over his handling of classified materials, but said he was a “sympathetic and well-meaning older man with a poor memory.”

Biden and his allies have since denounced the report as “inappropriate” and “politically motivated” as they seek to shield the president from further questions about his age and memory. Mr. Christie, a former federal prosecutor, said Mr. Herr must explain in his report why he did not press charges.

“Then the question for prosecutors is, ‘Why not prosecute?’ And he basically gave his two reasons. “One is President Biden’s memory deficit and condition, and two is President Biden’s cooperation,” Christie said.

“Once the documents were discovered, in contrast to President Trump, he let them come in and do whatever it took to get those documents and recover them,” he continued.

Mr. Christie also faced criticism from some conservatives who suggested there was a “two-tiered judicial system” because former President Trump was indicted for handling classified documents while Mr. Biden was not. was also targeted.

“No, because if there was actually a two-tiered judicial system, they would have just announced that he would not be prosecuted without giving any reason,” he said. .
