Jamie Raskin: “President Biden did not assert executive privilege or claim absolute immunity for presidential crimes. He did not hide…”

On the recordMarch 11, 2024
President Biden did not assert executive privilege or claim absolute immunity for presidential crimes. He did not hide boxes of documents under his bed or in a bathtub. He did not fight investigators, nor did he seek to redact a single word of Mr. Hur's report. He consented to the search of numerous locations, including his homes, and he did everything he could to cooperate, not obstruct.
