WASHINGTON — Special counsel Robert Hur, who recently declined to prosecute President Joe Biden over his handling of classified documents after he left office as vice president, will testify in public next month before a Republican-led House panel, two sources familiar with the matter confirmed.

Hur will testify March 12 before the House Judiciary Committee, led by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, the sources said.

Another source said House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., will be allowed to participate in the hearing.

A spokesperson for the Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

NBC News has reported that Jordan, Comer and Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., who leads the Ways and Means Committee, wrote to Attorney General Merrick Garland asking that he provide the full transcript of Biden’s interview with Hur that stemmed from the special counsel’s investigation into his handling of classified documents after he left office as vice president.

Biden was interviewed in October. The trio of Republican leaders told Garland in their letter that Biden’s handling of classified documents is a key part of their investigation into the president and that Hur’s interview and report will aid them in determining whether the evidence supports drafting articles of impeachment.

The three House committees have been conducting an impeachment inquiry into Biden. They have largely focused on allegations that the Justice Department gave preferential treatment to the president’s son Hunter Biden when it worked with the IRS on an investigation of his tax payments and whether the president was involved in any of his son’s overseas business dealings.

Rebecca Kaplan and Ryan Nobles reported from Washington and Zoë Richards from New York.
