President Biden has been interviewed by the Justice Department special counsel investigating the commander in chief’s handling of classified documents from his time in the Senate and as vice president, the White House said late Monday.
The interview was “voluntary” and conducted at the White House on both Sunday and Monday, Ian Sams, a spokesman for the White House Counsel’s Office, said in a statement announcing the first major development in the case in months.
“The President has been interviewed as part of the investigation being led by Special Counsel Robert Hur,” Sams said. “The voluntary interview was conducted at the White House over two days, Sunday and Monday, and concluded Monday.”
“As we have said from the beginning, the President and the White House are cooperating with this investigation, and as it has been appropriate, we have provided relevant updates publicly, being as transparent as we can consistent with protecting and preserving the integrity of the investigation.
We would refer other questions to the Justice Department at this time,” his statement concluded.
