After a thorough year-long investigation into President Joe Biden’s management of classified material, special counsel Robert Hur has determined that no charges will be brought forward.
Hur’s report indicates that the evidence gathered does not meet the standard of ‘proof beyond a reasonable doubt’ required to establish that Biden intentionally retained and divulged classified information.
What’s in the report?
The report details the findings of an investigation into President Biden’s handling of classified materials, including notebooks and documents related to military and foreign policy in Afghanistan. While evidence suggests Biden possessed classified information, the report concludes that charges are not warranted due to lack of proof of intent to break the law.
What is the suggestion in the report?
Biden’s lawyers disputed the portrayal of his memory in the report, arguing that it unfairly characterized his inability to recall events from years ago.
The report suggests potential political consequences for Biden, including increased scrutiny of his age and fitness for office.
