GAETZ: “Joe Biden said, ‘I guarantee I did not share classified information.’ That's not true, is it?”
HUR: "That is inconsistent with the findings." pic.twitter.com/NyKPjHsozE
The Florida Republican claimed Hur went easy on Biden under a so-called "senile cooperator theory."
The now former special counsel stood by his assessment of the president's memory as "accurate and fair," in prepared testimony to be delivered to Congress.
Special counsel Jack Smith charged Trump in June for mishandling top secret documents at his Mar Largo estate in Florida.
The indictment alleges that Trump repeatedly enlisted aides and lawyers to help him hide records demanded by investigators.
Biden has not been charged.
Gaetz has faced his own Justice Department investigation. Gaetz was accused of violating sex trafficking laws. The department declined to bring any charges in the case.
