The special counsel investigating President Joe Biden’s handling of classified material said in a report released on Thursday that no criminal charges were warranted against Biden, even though he willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his time as vice president.

The investigation was led by Special Counsel Robert Hur, a Trump-era U.S. attorney who was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland.

“We conclude that no criminal charges are warranted in this matter,” the report’s executive summary began. “We would reach the same conclusion even if Department of Justice policy did not foreclose criminal charges against a sitting president.”

“Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen,” the report continued. “These materials included (1) marked classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, and (2) notebooks containing Mr. Biden’s handwritten entries about issues of national security and foreign policy implicating sensitive intelligence sources and methods. FBI agents recovered these materials from the garage, offices, and basement den in Mr. Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware home.”
