President Joe Biden will not face charges from the U.S. Justice Department regarding the handling of classified documents found in his residence and office. However, an investigative report will critique his actions, according to a reliable source on Tuesday.
The investigation was conducted by Special Counsel Robert Hur, who was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to oversee the examination of Biden’s documents. According to an insider, the findings of the investigation may be made public this week.
This development is a relief for Biden as it removes a significant legal and political burden that has been hanging over his reelection campaign, as reported by Time.
In contrast, former President Donald Trump, who is currently the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, is facing serious criminal charges related to possessing classified documents at Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
Hur’s task was to thoroughly investigate the discovery of classified documents at Biden’s residence in Wilmington, Delaware, as well as at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington where he worked after serving as vice president.
This decision is likely to further fuel Trump’s claims that the Justice Department is biased against him. Currently, he faces charges in four separate criminal prosecutions, including two federal cases such as the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case.
White House officials argue that the Biden situation is different because his staff willingly surrendered classified documents when they were found and agreed to have his Delaware residence searched.
Garland has given Hur the authority to investigate potential unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or other records.
The Justice Department previously conducted an investigation into whether Vice President Mike Pence mishandled classified documents but ultimately concluded that there was no basis for pressing charges.
In June, the department sent a letter to Pence’s lawyer stating that he had been cleared in the review.
In November 2022, Attorney General Garland appointed Jack Smith as a special counsel to investigate classified materials discovered at Trump’s Florida residence.
Prosecutors have charged Trump with obstructing efforts by the government to recover unlawfully taken classified material from the White House after his term ended in early 2021.
Biden’s re-election campaign is bracing for a surge…
