Joe Biden Aide Blames Republicans for 'Pressurized' Special Counsel Report

White House spokesman for oversight and investigations, Ian Sams, pointed the blame to Republicans for Special Counsel Robert Hur's politically "pressurized" report during a press briefing on Friday.

Hur's report into classified documents that were found at President Joe Biden's Delaware home and his Penn Biden Center office in Washington, D.C., drummed up criticism from both Republicans and Democrats, with Republicans sharing concerns over Biden's memory and Democrats airing their grievances over parts of the report, which they saw as political jabs to the president.

"We are in a very pressurized political environment and when you are the first special counsel in history not to indict anybody there is pressure to criticize and to make statements that maybe you otherwise wouldn't make," Sams told reporters.

Later on in the press briefing, a reporter asked if it is the White House's official position that the report was "politically motivated."
