What we know about special counsel Robert Hur


Robert Hur, who has been named by Attorney General Merrick Garland as special counsel in the probe into Obama-era documents found in President Joe Biden's personal home in Delaware, was described by Garland as having a "long and distinguished career as a prosecutor."


The well-known former prosecutor most recently has been a lawyer at Gibson Dunn, a large corporate defense law firm. Earlier in his career, Hur worked in the Justice Department with FBI Director Christopher Wray.


"In 2003, he joined the department's criminal division, where he worked on counterterrorism, corporate fraud and appellate matters. From 2007 until 2014, Mr. Hur served as an assistant US attorney for the district of Maryland, where he prosecuted matters ranging from violent crime to financial fraud," Garland said.

"In 2017, Mr. Hur rejoined the department as the principal associate deputy attorney general. In 2018, he was nominated and confirmed to serve as a US attorney for the district of Maryland. As US attorney, he supervised some of the department's more important national security, public corruption and other high-profile matters," Garland added.


Garland promised Hur would get "all the resources he needs."


John Miller, CNN chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst, said the selection of Hur is "particularly well thought-out."


Hur "made a name for himself as US attorney in Maryland, prosecuting the former mayor of Baltimore, the former police commissioner of Baltimore, delegates and a state senator ... He did two very significant investigations into the NSA — two employees, both of whom carried large amounts of classified documents out of the NSA," Miller added.


"He is very adept at how to navigate the care, handling, proper handling of classified information and where the lines are between the crime," he said.  


Hur attended Harvard and Stanford Law School. He is a member of the bars of Maryland and the District of Columbia.

Aya Ueto is Japan's TV commercial queen for the second straight year, according to media research company Nihon Monitor. Ueto, 25, topped the chart by advertising for 13 companies this year. Ueto has been involved in a number of campaigns that have run for more than a year, including those for Softbank's famous Shirato family series in which the paternal figure is played by a white dog, and suit company Aoki. The data suggested that Ueto's high visibility in commercials has made her a familiar face to most of the nation. Actresses held all three of the top positions in the ranking with Saki Aibu, 25, second with appearances in ads for 12 companies this year, and Aoi Miyazaki, 25, coming in third with 11.

Keiko Kitagawa is once again the face that Japanese women want to have

In a survey held by Oricon Japan last month, some 500 Japanese females aged 10 to 50-plus chose the face of the Japanese female celebrity that they want to have the most. Topping the ranking is actress Keiko Kitagawa, who was also the first in last year’s ranking. Here are the top 10 Japanese celebrities whose beauty is most envied among women in Japan. This consecutive win not only marks Kitagawa’s sixth No. 1 place in this ranking that has been running for the 14th time, it is also the first time since 2009 when an actress who is also a mum topped the ranking. That winner 11 years ago was none other than Nanako Matsushima, who is known for starring in the 1998 horror film Ring. Although Kitagawa had just given birth to a girl last September, her beauty remains dazzling as she attended a movie promotion event earlier this month, after her maternity leave. The survey participants have described her looks as “perfect” and “gorgeous”, and even wanted to “live a day with this face”. Had...
