Robert Hur Joins King & Spalding as Partner

Robert Hur, the former U.S. special counsel who investigated President Biden's handling of classified documents, has rejoined King & Spalding as a partner. Hur's investigation concluded without criminal charges due to Biden's cooperation and raised questions about his memory and age, prompting criticism from both Democrats and Republicans. He will focus on government investigations, civil and criminal defense, and crisis management at the firm. Leah Grossi, another former DOJ official, has also returned to King & Spalding alongside Hur. The backlash from political circles reflected the contentious nature of his findings, especially given the parallel investigation into former President Trump. Hur previously worked at King & Spalding before his DOJ tenure and has held various senior positions in the government.
