Biden classified files report: Robert Hur hearing highlights partisan divide

Five weeks after his report into Joe Biden's handling of classified documents exploded a political bombshell, former special counsel Robert Hur appeared at a hearing in Congress to explain and defend his work.

It characterised him as a "well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory". It also cited instances of Mr Biden being unable to recall some details, which prompted an angry response from the president who insisted his memory was fine.

Not surprisingly, his memory and mental acuity featured prominently at the hearing, which was a clear demonstration of the sharp partisan divide over the report.
