Biden's Classified Documents Inquiry Concludes; No Charges Advised
February 8, 2024Special counsel Robert Hur has concluded an inquiry into President Biden's mishandling of classified documents.
President Biden has chosen not to assert executive privilege, allowing full report review by the White House and Attorney General.
The investigation, which took a year, scrutinized Biden's retention of sensitive records from his past government roles.
While the report criticizes Biden's actions, it stops short of recommending any legal charges against him.
Biden has not requested any redactions to the report, but the Justice Department may redact classified information before public release.
The report's findings emerge as both President Biden and former President Trump, who also faces document-handling criticism, signal re-election bids.
Attorney General Garland intends to release as much of the report as possible following the White House review.
