The special counsel's investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden's handling of classified documents has concluded, according to recent reports. A public report is expected to be released to Congress, with some parts potentially made available to the public. Attorney General Merrick Garland confirmed this information in a letter to congressional lawmakers. The year-long investigation focused on Biden's retention of classified documents during his time as a senator and vice president.
Documents were discovered at Biden's residences in Delaware and a private office he utilized between his service in the Obama administration and his presidency in 2021. In contrast to former President Trump's debate over presidential powers to maintain possession of certain documents, the Department of Justice (DOJ), in collaboration with the National Archives, approached Biden differently due to his role as a vice president and senator. Trump faced accusations of obstruction for resisting the handover of documents contained within his Mar-a-Lago compound.
