A seasoned prosecutor, Robert K Hur was appointed in 2017 by Donald Trump as the chief federal law enforcement officer in Maryland until 2021, when Trump also left office.
More recently, the former Harvard and Stanford Law School graduate has worked in private practice at Washington DC firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.
He’s served as aides to people in high places – including the then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, and Christopher Wray at the justice department, before Wray’s appointment to head the FBI.
He also clerked for former US Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist.
Over more than a decade as a federal prosecutor, Hur worked on cases involving national security, public corruption and other issues.
Former colleague Thomas Dupree described him as “a very talented lawyer, a man of excellent judgment and a man of the highest integrity”.
