NEW: Attorney General Merrick Garland said he had appointed a special counsel to investigate the discovery of classified government records at the private home and office of President Joe Biden.
Hur, in a statement, said, "I will conduct the assigned investigation with fair, impartial, and dispassionate judgment."
A senior Department of Justice official told NBC News that Garland's appointment of Hur was"not a decision he made lightly." Biden's lawyer, Richard Sauber, in a statement on Hur's appointment said,"As the President said, he takes classified information and materials seriously, and as we have said, we have cooperated from the moment we informed the [National] Archives that a small number of documents were found, and we will continue to cooperate."
Garland in November appointed another former federal prosecutor, Jack Smith, as special counsel to oversee two criminal investigations of Trump.
