Special counsel Robert Hur announced Thursday he will not recommend President Biden face charges for his mishandling of classified documents after leaving the office of the vice presidency, though he found Biden “willfully retained” such materials.
“We conclude that no criminal charges are warranted in this matter,” Hur’s report reads. “We would conclude the same even if there was no policy against charging a sitting president. Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified information after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.”
“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,” the report added.
