During a recent interview, Republican Congressman Kelly Armstrong, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, expressed his dissatisfaction with the Department of Justice's (DOJ) decision not to prosecute President Biden for mishandling classified documents. Armstrong stated that in his view, President Biden met the elements of the crime, but the decision not to prosecute was based on concerns about how the case would be perceived by a jury.
Armstrong highlighted that the DOJ's assessment that a jury would not convict President Biden played a significant role in the decision not to pursue charges. He emphasized that President Biden had been storing classified documents for over 30 years and had received warnings from various sources about the handling of such materials.
