After classified documents were discovered in Biden’s home and a Washington, D.C. office, the DOJ tasked special counsel Robert Hur to investigate.
A Justice Department special counsel has recommended no criminal charges be brought against President Biden in connection with the classified documents that were found at his Delaware home and a think-tank office in Washington, D.C.
In a nearly 350-page report released Thursday, special counsel Robert Hur says President Biden held onto classified documents after he left the Obama administration and became a private citizen, and that Biden even disclosed some of those materials to his ghostwriter. But the report says the evidence did not establish Biden’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
„We conclude that no criminal charges are warranted in this matter,“ the report says. „We would reach the same conclusion even if Department of Justice policy did not foreclose criminal charges against a sitting president.“
Hur’s decision not to pursue charges against the president brings an end to a lengthy investigation that began after Biden’s lawyers found classified documents in November 2022 in the offices of the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.
