Biden's Classified Documents Inquiry Concludes; No Charges Advised
  • Special 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.
