During a recent exchange, Democrat Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Seattle) claimed that Special Counsel Robert Hur's report exonerated Joe Biden, a statement Hur firmly denied. Hur clarified that his report did not exonerate Biden, emphasizing that the term 'exoneration' does not appear anywhere in the report and that it was not his conclusion. This clarification was reiterated in responses to both Sen. Jayapal and Congressman Cliff Bentz, highlighting a misunderstanding or misrepresentation of the report's findings.
