Liberal commentators complained about Hur questioning president about Beau Biden's death

Some commentators attacked Special Counsel Robert Hur for asking President Biden about his son's death, but later reporting said it was the president who brought him up.

Hanna Panreck is an associate editor at Fox News.

"Why was the special counsel asking him about Beau’s death, right? There is no legitimate answer for why he would do that, and in an interview that happened in October, months and months and months after the special counsel began their work. Unless they were trying to trip him up, rattle him, gain oppo, right? I mean, I think it is just that, the fundamental question of, why would you ask him about Beau’s death, raises the question about the legitimacy of the entire line of questioning," Palmieri said. 

In a press conference after Hur's report was released that included shots at Biden's memory, the president attacked Hur for bringing up his son's death, but it was the president who first brought up the death of Beau in his special counsel interview last year, Fox News confirmed.
