WASHINGTON – The Justice Department won't pursue criminal charges against President Joe Bien for his handling of classified documents, but the report contained multiple comments that may reinforce public concerns about the 81-year-old president's age and memory.
In a report made public Thursday, special counsel Robert Hur said criminal charges would not have been warranted for the classified documents found at his former office in Washington, D.C., and at his home in Delaware.
"Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen," according to the report, which noted in particular classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan.
