Special counsel named to probe classified records found at Biden’s private home and office

POINTS
Attorney General Merrick Garland said he appointed a special counsel to investigate the discovery of classified government records at the private home and office of President Joe Biden.
Garland tapped Robert Hur to serve as special counsel. Garland previously had assigned John Lausch, the U.S. Attorney for Chicago, to handle the inquiry after the first batch of records were discovered in November.
“This is not a decision [Garland] made lightly,” a senior Department of Justice official told NBC News.
