Biden classified documents probe report expected soon; no charges
Special counsel Robert Hur oversaw an investigation into classified documents that were found at Biden's home and an office he used during the Trump administration.
WASHINGTON — A long-awaited report by special counsel Robert Hur will be made public in the coming days after a yearlong investigation into how classified documents found their way to President Joe Biden’s home and office, according to a senior law enforcement official familiar with the matter.
The imminent release of a public report confirms that, as expected, no criminal charges will be filed. It is unclear to what extent the report will criticize Biden or aides regarding their handling of classified material.
The Washington Post first reported that the Justice Department is set to release Hur's report shortly.
Biden advisers have privately expressed concern that Hur may clear him of any wrongdoing but publicly declare that he was sloppy or careless in his handling of classified materials, two people familiar with the matter told NBC News.
That concern is derived from memories of then-FBI Director James Comey’s similar public statement during the 2016 presidential campaign about former Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified information.
