READ: Hur defends Biden probe, saying he "did not sanitize" final report

• Biden's age and mental faculties have become a focal point of the 2024 presidential race.
• Republicans seized upon Hur's findings, using them to argue that Biden is unfit for a second term.

Driving the news: "My assessment in the report about the relevance of the President's memory was necessary and accurate and fair," Hur will tell the House Judiciary Committee in prepared opening remarks.

• "Most importantly, what I wrote is what I believe the evidence shows, and what I expect jurors would perceive and believe," Hur's prepared remarks state. "I did not sanitize my explanation. Nor did I disparage the President unfairly."

State of play: Hur will deliver his testimony as a private citizen, a Department of Justice spokesperson confirmed to Axios.

• "Hur finished his work last week and is no longer employed by the department," the spokesperson said Tuesday morning.

Catch up quick: Hur's investigation concluded that Biden's handling of classified documents after his time as vice president presented "serious risks to national security."

• The special counsel's probe "did not, however, identify evidence that rose to the level of proof beyond a reasonable doubt," Hur says in his prepared remarks.

Zoom in: "My task was to determine whether the President retained or disclosed national defense information 'willfully'—meaning, knowingly and with the intent to do something the law forbids," Hur says.

• "I could not make that determination without assessing the President's state of mind."
• "I had to consider the President's memory and overall mental state, and how a jury likely would perceive his memory and mental state in a criminal trial," Hur adds.

What's next: Hur is scheduled to testify before the committee at 10am ET.
