Im jake to jake tapper and we start today with our Law And Justice lead the Special Counsel, who decided President Biden should not face charges over his mishandling of classified documents camins appeared On Capitol Hill today in an incredibly partisan and at times testy hearing. Robert hur pushing back on claims and attacks are both republicans and democrats trying to defend the lengthy report he wrote on why he came to this decision to not press charges against joe biden. The report found biden willfully retained Classified Information at paints did a picture of somebody that a jury would find forgetful, elderly, kind old man. But her insisted today nothing he did was driven in any way by politics partisan politics head no place whatsoever in my work. It had no place in the investigative steps that i took. It had no place in the decision that i made, and it had no place in a single word if my report and while robert hur decided to not recommend charges against the president , he pushed back on, Democrats Claims that his report totally exonerated biden instead saying he just didnt think he could win the case at trial if he did bring charges in this case, did you reach a conclusion that this man was outright innocent that conclusion is not reflected in my report, sir, you did not reach an idea that he had committed no wrong. You reached a conclusion that you would not prevail at trial and therefore did not take it forward. Is that correct . Correct. Congressman. And we are getting our first reaction from President Biden to this hearing just moments ago, he met with leaders of poland at the white house, Prime Minister and president longtime rivals united in their quest for more ukraine, a president and Prime Minister of poland, i mean, biden officially announced the new package of military aid for ukraine now in its third year at war with russia, lets listen so they actually we dont have the sound in yet. Leopard paula reid starts off our coverage. Polo. Tell us what you took away from the hearing while we wait for this biden sound to come in, i spoke to sources close to her this morning before you went in, they said his goal today is not make anyone happy. He said of everybody is angry, you know, i have to interrupt you. We have the sound from President Biden ceremony the former secretary of state, madeleine albright, may just following statement, she said, when we stand together, no force on earth is more powerful. We stand together know fortunately theres more powerful i believe that then can i believe it now . And we see it then, polish american Troops Service hi by side, nato and eastern flank, including in poland. And we see it in our commitment to strengthen nato is collective defenses. And im want to pause here and note that poland is spending nearly 4 of his Gross Domestic Product on defense. Much of a purchasing american what american Weapons Systems and aircraft as double the nato commitment, 4 . We also see it in our support for ukraine and the force of putins vicious onslaught against ukraine in a way that is border. I want to describe it i want to thank you both for polands unwavering security humanitarian assistance, including welcoming about 1 million ukrainian refugees. As my mother would say, god love doing gods work really are its incredible what youre doing with the polish people are doing today. United states is announcing an Emergency Package for ukraine using costsaving it means from previously approved pentagon contracts, the package includes munitions and round help. Ukraine hold the line against russias brutal attacks. For the next couple of weeks i have the authority to do without asking congress for some more money, right now. What ive asked him for a lot more money so were not nearly enough for what were announcing the day Congress Must pass the Bipartisan National Security bill. Now, which includes urgent funding for ukraine, we must act before it literally is too late, before its too late. Because its paul henri members. Russia wont stop at Ukraine Putin will keep going. Put in europe, the United States, the entire free world at risk in my view. So thank you both again for being here at this critical time. With that, mr. President , i handed over to you. The floor is yours mr. President. Ladies and gentlemen exactly 25 years ago on the 12th of march, 1999 well, then the czech republic, hungary, join the strongest alliance in the world. The dream of managing durations of poles came true there, is no better place to celebrate this special anniversary than the white house courageous decisions were made right here. The capital of the United States by both democrats and republicans. Nato expanded to the east. Poland joined the free world the west where it has always belonged and for those courageous decisions and for their unwavering support. I would like to thank all The Americans who contributed to them i express these tanks to you, mr. President , bearing in mind that at the time you were one of the leaders of the support in the us senate for poland succession to nato. I thank you on behalf of millions of polls during this 25 years we have shown that we are a reliable and proven airline even when our soldiers fought sidebyside with american soldiers in iraq and afghanistan poland. News for, you, other countries in the world that security comes at a price that is why we spent more than four of our for gdp on maintaining and modernizing our armed forces this is the highest percentage in the alliance. Russias aggression against ukraine clearly demonstrated that the United States is and should remain the security leader. But other allies must take more responsibility for the security of the alliance as a whole. That is why i believe its necessary for all nato countries to increase their Defense Spending from two to 3 of gdp 2 was good ten years ago. Now, 3 is required in response to the full scale war launched by russia, right beyond natos eastern border we pull, all right, lets bring in cnn senior white house correspondent, mj lee lee, because we know that President Biden, thats a tape turn, so we know what happens and he doesnt take questions and he doesnt say Anything Else. President biden. The president clearly trying to keep the focus on the announcement here on more aid for ukraine, not on Anything Else. Yeah. As you said, the president didnt take any questions from reporters in the room just moments after this Robert Hur Hearing has wrapped up, and the president making clear that this announcement of a 300 million new package for ukraine, that its not even nearly enough. He said that Vladimir Putin is not going to stop ukraine. Hes going to keep going. I should note jake, this package comes as a bit of a surprise given that the administration has been saying for weeks and weeks that the money that the us can provide to you ukraine has completely dried up, that the pot that the us would dip into has essentially just run out of resources. And what the administration is saying now is that they were able to approve an additional 300 million because of unanticipated cost savings from the defense department. But i should be very clear that the white house is making clear that this is a modest package, that it does not give ukraine everything that it needs, that it only helps ukraine for a short period of time. And that again, it is only a matter of weeks week for ukraine is again going to run out of ammunition. And this is why you heard the president once again and Jake Sullivan did the same thing. And this briefing with reporters that the Senate House Speaker mike johnson needs to take up the bill that came out of the senate, the National Security pretty bill that has some 60 billion of aid for ukraine. Obviously no signs right now that the speaker is interested in doing that, jake. All right. Mj lee at the white house for us. Thanks so much back to our other Breaking News story read todays Special Counsel, robert hur, On Capitol Hill today, trying to defend his decision to not recommend charges against President Biden for his mishandling of classified documents, also trying to defend the fact that he seemed to take some shots at bidens age and mental acuity in the report, cnns paula reid takes a closer look now at how her tried to fend off attacks from both sides while defending the integrity of his work. Do you swear or affirm under former Special Counsel robert hur grilled by lawmakers from both sides of the aisle today about his investigation into President Bidens mishandling of classified documents. Mr. Hur, why do you do it . Why did joe biden, in your words, willfully retained and disclosed classified materials . I mean, he knew the law in an office like 50 years. You exonerate a conviction. I know that exam room or its not im sure it has. Mr. Hurts my time bidens memory took center stage as hur said in his report that he did not charge biden because he believed a jury would see him as a sympathetic, wellmeaning, elderly man with a poor memory. You find in your report that the elements of a federal criminal violation are met, but then you apply this Senile Cooperators Theory that because joe biden cooperated and the elevator go to the top floor, you dont you get a conviction. You understood when you made that decision, didnt you, mr. Hur, that you would ignite a political firestorm with that language, didnt you . Congressman politics played no part whatsoever in my investigative steps. You cannot tell me youre so naive as to think your words who would not have created a political firestorm . You understood that hur told the committee he stood by the words in his report my assessment and the report about the relevance of the president s memory was necessary and accurate and fair. He was also pressed on the differences between bidens case and that of former President Trump. Those being that biden returned the documents, he allowed for searches, various properties, and even sat for a voluntary interview with the Special Counsel. Did you find that President Biden engaged in a conspiracy to obstruct justice no did you find that President Biden engaged in a scheme to conceal know for repeatedly made it clear he did not exonerate the president is hurted. You completely exonerated President Biden. That is not what my report does. Also emphasized that he was making a legal conclusion about bidens mental state, not a medical one. Mr. Hur, based on your report, did you find that the president was senile i did not. That conclusion does not appear in my report after the hearing. Chairman jordan said that he is interested in the recording of the interview that President Biden did with Special Counsel, her now her now the former special council, hes back to being a private citizen. He deferred to the Justice Department and the white house as to whether that recording will be released. Jake, i think its highly unlikely they will release that, but that will not stop republicans from making that Audio Recording likely an issue over the next seven months. All right. Paula reid, thanks so much. My next guest question. Robert hur in todays hearing, hes democratic congressman adam schiff of california joins me now. Thank you so much. Congressman schiff the basic argument youre making is that by calling President Biden a sympathetic, wellmeaning old man, elderly man with a poor memory, which is how he thought he would come across to a jury. That thats political what part of that construct is inaccurate . I mean, i assume you think hes sympathetic, wellmeaning, hes 81 and his memory, it doesnt seem great. Its not horrible, but i dont understand the outrage. Well, its simple as this as a prosecutor the Department Policy is you dont go out of your way to essentially vilify each of the reputation of someone when youre making a Declination Decision, what you put in your report is just whats necessary to support the conclusions of their ports. So fair game to say, he was asked about these documents that didnt recall how they got to the university it is not appropriate to engage in a subjective generalized essentially political assessment that is fodder during a campaign year. And he knew exactly what he was doing when he chose that language he has conducted im sure as any lawyer with his experience dozens and dozens of depositions, i deposed karl rove for the judiciary committee. He claimed a failure of dozens and dozens of times. There was ever suggestion that he was doing it because of his advanced age. That was simply gratuitously, wasnt anyone carlo know he wasnt, but but would were reading i mean, he he he does have i mean, look, i dont know that i would be any better if somebody is throwing names and dates. It mean i was 81 years old, but he does have issues here and there was that 19 was that 2017 was the 2016. Its not you know disqualifying, but he does have some memory issue that is a perfectly fair issue for Political Campaign is not a politically, not perfectly fair issue for a prosecutor to make an a Declination Decision more than fine for her to say with respect to this category of documents or that this is what the president said but this was deliberate it was as if her decided theres not enough evidence to prosecute him. So im going to politically slime him instead. What he would say, where he here is. I had to explain why i wasnt prosecuting him. Youve made that decision as a prosecutor, right . Im not going to take the i assume im not going to take this case before a jury because i dont know that we could win it. This person is going to seem sympathetic or i cant prove Beyond A Reasonable Doubt, et cetera and thats i mean, look, part of what he said in his Testimony Today was that we thought he did things willfully but he explained President Biden explain things that he forgot or whatever, and we couldnt necessarily impugn the claim of that. He just innocently forgot. We couldnt do that. That was another thing that he said. What didnt he have a responsibility her to explain why he wasnt prosecuting this person yes. And that explanation can be we didnt find sufficient evidence evidence to prove Beyond A Reasonable Doubt to a jury that he met all of the helmets. The defense we couldnt prove this Beyond A Reasonable Doubt. We couldnt prove that Beyond A Reasonable Doubt. What you dont do partook department of Justice Policy is not only observe care and not essentially pejorative, rising, damaging the reputation injecting yourself in a Political Campaign, but doing the opposite. Hur understood this report would be public. He knew every word of before had no matter what it was going to come out, no matter whats right about one more than that, he knew that garland was going i dont release it. And he knew that garland wasnt garland isd was going to release it. He said he was going to release. Right. And of course, if he had edited any part of it, that would have been a huge issue. So he knew this was coming out and they were plenty of ways for him to meet his prosecuted prosecutorial duty by saying with specific reference to this document or that the president didnt recall or claimed it didnt recall. And we cant prove that that wasnt true. He also has a whole section in there in which he explains why what President Trump is accused of doing is much worse than what President Biden is accused of doing. Did that not belong in there too . Its fair to say that we declined here because of these facts, they went forward here because of these facts, the two are not the same. That is perfectly fine to do without going into gratuitously insulting donald trump anymore than gratuitously the insulting joe biden. But, but this was calculated, this was deliberate and the idea that someone of his experience would not know that or wouldnt well, i was supposed to be a Confidential Report kept coming back to this confidential language. That was i think horribly misleading when he knew he knew was going to be released. Sure. Probably understood that. I just think that he felt like he had a special obligation to explain why he wasnt going to prosecute somebody that he thought had actually broken the law. Well, yes. But that does not include a generalized pejorative attack in a political manner. And thats exactly what that was. Let me ask you about the general election. Because as people who wants to show likely no, you are running for senate in california and its between you and republican steve garvey, former dodgers. Great. But i assume by the way, that youve rooted for steve garvey in the past when he was a baseball player. Is that well, to be candid, im from boston, so im not anymore for my god, dont tell the voters of california represent the area around Dodger Stadium theyre my also dodger fan. Okay. Interesting. Anyway, are you worried at all about how some of the negative characterizations of President Biden, including how hes portrayed in this herb report, could could impact you at all in your election because he will obviously be at the top of the ballot i am much less concerned about the effect of the president ial race on my own race, which im going to take very seriously and campaign hard on then i am any prospect that donald trump could go near the levers of power again somebody who says he wants to be a dictator on day one, someone is undermining a nato allowance alliance as someone who was proud of the fact that he outlawed by his appointments to the Supreme Court reproductive freedom. I dont want him going anywhere near the oval office and that is the overriding consideration for me. Let me ask you because you had there was you actually won fairly easily you had a clever way thats a nice way to describe it. Clever way of campaigning, which was you ran against steve barbie because its a jungle primary. The top two votegetters are the ones that youll face off against it will theoretically be easier for you to beat a republican in california. You campaigned in those ads against steve garvey, which might have helped him get the vote out. This is not unprecedented. Weve seen this in thing and it kind of thing in american politics. Josh shapiro, the governor of pennsylvania, did it against Doug Mastriano but one of your opponents, katie porter, democratic congresswoman complained in her Concession Speech and since then on on twitter saying her campaign had to withstand quote and onslaught of Billionaire Spending Millions to rig this election whats your reaction . Let me just state thats not rigging an election. Thats not what rigging an election is. Now, maybe she didnt like your tactics, but thats not rigging an election. What was your reaction to how shes handled her loss . Well, first of all, she called it left me investors on friday. Very graciously congratulated me, so i want to acknowledged receiving that call. That term rigging an election is a very specific term. Now, in the trumpian era, which suggests ballot stuffing, fraud, et cetera. Those all those false allegations attacking the integrity of our Election System no democrat should be using that language and what i think is notable is the Democratic Party quickly said, hey, no, thats you dont go there republicans on the other hand, have embraced the big lie, continue to embrace it. There is a real, i think, incredible difference between the parties when it comes to defensive democracy. Proceed, but we just do not use that language. All right, well, congratulations on the election and hope to talk, keep talking to you this election season. And obviously were sending out an invitation to mr. Garvey as well if he wants to come on the shelf, just a Special Counsel, her showed up On Capitol Hill.

The interview lasted more than five hours over two days in october, cnns evan perez joins us now and evan, this transfer script i have it here. Oh, its heavy. Hold on. Its taken me a second to pick it up. This transcript, this details every word President Biden said in his interview what stood out to you well, you know, one of the still one of the mystifying things jake has to do with the reference to beau biden, which of course made the president and democrats so angry by dimension of beau biden and the fact that the president and didnt remember the year that he died, at least according to the transcript. Im sorry, i according to the report. Now, we reviewed the transcript and you see a lot more of the context there and you see that President Biden is the one that brings up beau biden and it comes as part of a question, a discussion about him thinking about his political future and looking at how he referred to documents that were having to do with that. And President Biden brings up the context and says, the 2017, 2017, 20 the 18 era. And then he says, i remember the timeframe i remember the time frame. My son was either deployed or dying and then hes theres white year. What month did beau die . Oh god. May 30. And then there was another a couple of people in the room who say 2015. And the president says, its 25th, 2015. And so that is one of the, again, one of the most important parts of this report because it has been the thing that has that democrats say was abused to portrayed the president as someone who is elderly, who didnt really have it all together. And so what you see, what the transcript is, you see a lot more of the contexts. I mean of his long answers that he gives about his son. And obviously it was something that was obviously very close to his heart. Jake and evan, there are many instances in here about President Biden giving rather lengthy answers hes a storyteller. Hes in an old irish pile of your at one point, the Special Counsel even has to say, id love to hear more about this, but we need to focus Something Like that. Right . Exactly. It happened a couple of times, jake, there was one where he speaks for about ten minutes after hes asked about how dark commence came to be in a certain location and then there was one that i found quite, quite interesting, as, you know, where the president is asked about the location of die documents and the president goes on to do a roughly five or six minute answered that covers everything from building a Transcontinental Railroad in africa to china, to all kinds of other parts of policy, things, of course that President Biden finds really interesting. And robert hur find it says mr. President , im sorry to interrupt you. But we do have a lot of material to go over here. Its its classic biden, but it is one of the indications that you see of this, of how five hours came to be concealed, jake . Yeah. No practice. It says im just reading here at page 67, probably one of the best parts to being Vice President and president. And i get to drive all these electric vehicles. I have dam there quick, you know, i think i think about this. You have one of those big four by fours. I think its a ford bronco, whatever it is, zero to 60 in 46 and hurts like yes thats fast. Present biden says, yeah, by the way, you know how it works. Its really cool. And mr. And hurs like, sir, i would love to hear much more about this, but i do have a few more questions to get through. Biden keeps going. You can take 30 seconds, but you put your your foot on the break, you hit a button. I mean, you know, old storyteller, evan perez. Thanks so much for joining us.

No more classified documents issue. They say my panels here jonah, neither side got Special Counsel her to say exactly what they wanted him to say. Democrats wanted him to say this report exonerates him and i shouldnt have put in all that stuff, but his memory and republicans wanted to say youre right. I made a mistake. I should have prosecuted him nobody walked away. Happy. Yeah. Which to me puts me on team robert hur like i think it like its not always true that being attacked from both sides means youre doing something, right . But in this case, i actually think its its true, its a hothouse of president ial campaign partisanship going on. I think it his his position is tenable and i think its probably right on the law. You can second guess a lot of it, but im you know, i think its good that a prosecutor didnt actually give either side exactly what it wanted. And speaking of second guessing, now you have to take a listen to one of the most tense exchanges between Special Counsel, her and democratic congressman hank johnson of georgia who republican know, arent you . I am a registered republican. You as and youre doing everything you can do to get President Trump reelected so that you can get appointed as a federal judge or perhaps to another position in a department of justice, isnt that correct . Congressman . I have no such aspirations. I can assure you now, in robert hurs defense, i dont want this to be a robert hur stand, pat. But roberts defense, theres a whole section in his report on biden in which he explains why trump did is worse than what biden is accused of doing. So he is eliminated himself from any consideration for trump well, the challenge that you have is of course the hyperpartisan environment that this committee exists in right now, there are somewhat functional committees. Otherwise, this is not considered one of them, right . This committee could have looked at the report and talked about the what were the gaps and proof because there were facts laid out, but didnt rise to the level of proof, but individuals chose to make this deeply partisan and, one of the things i think is challenging about this is you want your officials to be a political but even Robert Mueller was appointed under certain president , right . And that was a part of the conversation about him as well and is like, oh, fbi director wray, you know, who he was appointed by. And so this comes up knowing that this is going to come up because weve seen this playbook with reports over and over again. I am rather surprised that hurt and just take it off the table and not register or deregister himself 59 or rather 49 of americans are currently politically unaffiliated. So he would have been with a big group of people who just didnt want to be registered with a Political Party right now, youre also he he pushed back multiple times, democrats tried to say that is report included exoneration of President Biden to take a listen i need to go back and make sure that i take take note of the word that you used. Exoneration that is not a word or im gonna tell you with my question to ask is im going to continue with my questions. I know that term ultimately speech. I know that sergeant evidenced existed such that the likely you exonerate a conviction, i know that Exam Room Floor where its not a sure it has. Mr. Hurts my time you know what that reminds me . Actually, it reminds me of what republicans tried to do with the muller report, which did not exonerate donald trump. It just said, were not going to prosecute him. And by the way, heres all these obstruction of justices said no, and actually trump did not get charged with obstruction of justice, but you had many other people who did. I think more than 34 people . And there were criminal proceedings that came from that. And so its just the flip of what we saw happen with the Russia Investigation that we continue to see unfortunately, with the Russia Investigation, we did see many people in the National Security community who were discussing this on the surface. And the facts and were just not seeing that with the classified documents story, knowing that donald trump has his own challenges in that space. Yeah. Yeah, just to be clear, im not comparing the two offenses in any way. Im just saying uh, claiming something, claiming a document that doesnt exonerate the politician. You like. Its the court of Public Opinion versus legal opinion. And that was fundamentally the default, but also just him not to put my civics hat on, but our system doesnt really do exoneration and it should, by the way, in a criminal case, you get if youre if you get off from the charges, youre found not guilty, youre not found innocent, right . And the idea that a prosecutors report that unless its less what was truly like, it is actually impossible that joe biden committed any of these alleged facts. It cant exonerate him. I personally think like i know this was going to for political reasons, the reports going to have to get out in the matter. What but merrick garlands getting off pretty light here since its his decision to release the report. Well, he said that before hur was appointed im going to release this publicly. It was so politically charged he had two though, i get the political reality of it, but like her was under a legal obligation to explain himself to the attorney general. It was not in the idea that he is trying to do this for a judgeship. I think its kind of a slander. So i who does the him versus the people on both sides. All right. Thanks.
