No Charges For Joe
|
[MSN - WashingtonExaminer] President Joe Biden is not expected to face charges over his mishandling of classified documents after a yearlong investigation, according to reports.
Special counsel Robert Hur has been investigating the president's connection in the mishandling of classified documents at multiple locations and is hoping to have a completed report about his inquiry by the end of the year, sources told two outlets Thursday.
ttorney General Merrick Garland appointed Hur in January to lead an investigation after classified materials from Biden's time as vice president were discovered at his former office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, D.C., and at his Wilmington, Delaware, residence.
Any decision to forgo charging the president may spark frustrations by former President Donald Trump and his supporters. Trump has alleged the Justice Department is being "weaponized" to bring charges against him as he fights off four criminal indictments during his 2024 presidential bid.
One of those indictments involves allegations that Trump mishandled classified documents, which likely will fuel claims of a double standard from his supporters if Biden avoids facing consequences for a similar offense.
Hur interviewed several Biden administration officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, White House political aide Steve Ricchetti, Biden’s former chief of staff Ron Klain, and national security adviser Jake Sullivan, according to the Wall Street Journal, which reported on the lack of forthcoming charges.
The report from Hur likely will criticize Biden's handling of the documents, but it could draw distinctions between the conduct of Biden and that of his predecessor.
A decision to not pursue charges is likely to draw criticism from Donald Trump and his allies. They have long drawn parallels between Hur’s investigation with that of special counsel Jack Smith, who earlier this year brought charges against the former president related to his own handling of classified documents after he left the White House.
But key differences between the two probes abound, including the fact that the National Archives repeatedly tried and failed to get back documents in Trump’s possession. At one point, the FBI secured a search warrant to search his Florida estate.
Biden’s attorneys, on the other hand, quickly notified the National Archives of the materials found in his possession.
"Quickly" is a lie. It was weeks
Stunning corruption on display.
