Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) found himself in wholly unfamiliar territory on Wednesday when an anchor for Newsmax—of all places—pressed him to admit that the GOP push to release President Joe Biden’s so-called Hur tapes is “definitely political.”
Biggs, meanwhile, asserted that while there was a “political aspect” to demanding the tapes, it was really about finding out “who’s actually running the country.”
Back in February, Special Counsel Robert Hur declined to recommend charges against Biden over his handling of classified documents. Even though he claimed the president’s actions “present serious risks to national security,” Hur noted that one reason he wouldn’t charge Biden is the president’s portrayal as an “elderly man with a poor memory” could be sympathetic to a jury.
