Biden won’t be charged in classified docs case; special counsel cites instances of ‘poor memory’
Special counsel Robert Hur has chosen not to prosecute President Joe Biden over his handling of classified documents, despite stating that Biden’s practices present serious risks to national security. An investigation found evidence that Biden retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen, but the evidence does not establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The report also focused on Biden’s memory, stating that it was significantly limited during his 2023 interviews. Biden has welcomed the conclusion, stating that he had always believed no charges would be brought in this case. His defenders point out that his memory issues could be related to the timing of the interview, which took place when Biden was dealing with an international crisis.
