5 feb 2024 anni - Special Counsel Declines to Charge President Biden in Classified Documents Case due to memory Source: Special Counsel Robert Hur's Report, February 5, 2024

Descrizione:

Special Counsel Robert Hur's report on President Joe Biden's handling of classified documents concludes that no criminal charges are warranted. The investigation found that Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials post-vice presidency, including documents on military and foreign policy, and classified notes. However, the evidence does not meet the standard for prosecution beyond a reasonable doubt. Factors such as Biden's full cooperation, limited memory, and precedent set by former presidents' handling of classified materials influenced this decision. The investigation also revealed improper storage of classified materials in Biden's homes and noted the risk these practices posed to national security. The Special Counsel's decision reflects a balance of legal standards and mitigating circumstances, concluding that prosecution is not in the public interest.
