A special counsel concluded that President Joe Biden should not face criminal charges even though investigators found he retained and disclosed classified materials after serving as vice president, according to a report released Thursday.
Special Counsel Robert K. Hur wrote in the report that he would reach the same conclusion even if Justice Department policy did not prevent charges against a sitting president. He also highlighted how Biden cooperated with the probe and sat for an interview with investigators last year.
And Hur wrote extensively about Biden’s potential defenses and why he did not think Biden should be charged with a crime or would be found guilty by a jury.
