DOJ to Release Report on Biden's Handling of Classified Documents, No Charges Expected

The report criticizes the mishandling of classified documents by President Biden and his aides but stops short of recommending criminal charges.

  • The DOJ is set to release a report by Special Counsel Robert Hur, criticizing President Biden and his aides for mishandling classified documents, but will not pursue criminal charges.
  • The Biden campaign is concerned that images showing the careless storage of classified documents could embarrass the president and affect his re-election bid.
  • Despite the mishandling, Biden is not accused of attempting to obstruct the retrieval of the sensitive documents, unlike former President Trump who faces 40 criminal charges.
  • The report's findings are expected to be scrutinized by Republicans, especially as Trump, facing his own legal challenges, could use them against Biden in the presidential contest.
  • Special Counsel Hur's investigation, costing nearly $3.5 million, involved interviews with Biden, his aides, and the review of documents found in Biden's home and former office.
