Special Counsel Robert Hur has submitted his report on President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents. Hur concluded Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials” — but recommended that the commander-in-chief not face charges.
From The New York Post:
The 300-plus-page report by Hur, a former Maryland US attorney, was delivered to Congress after the White House counsel’s office declined to assert privilege over any of its contents.
Hur found that classified records hoarded by Biden included documents concerning military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, as well as notebooks with handwritten entries about national security and foreign policy issues “implicating sensitive intelligence sources and methods,” according to his 18-page executive summary of the report.
According to the special counsel, Biden, 81, kept the documents to inform the writing of two memoirs published in 2007 and 2017, as well as “to document his legacy, and to cite as evidence that he was a man of presidential timber.”
Sensitive records from Biden’s vice presidency and Senate tenure were stored without proper safeguards at his residence in Wilmington, Del., and at his pre-presidency office in DC provided by the University of Pennsylvania.
