The Biden campaign fears that the results of a classified documents investigation could lead to embarrassing information, and possibly photos, that could damage President Joe Biden‘s reelection chances.
Biden’s aides believe special counsel Robert Hur’s investigation won’t lead to any criminal charges, according to Axios, but unflattering details and photos could still lead to political damage.
Former President Donald Trump is facing felony charges related to his handling of classified documents. Soon after Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home was raided in August 2022, Biden weighed in by asking aloud how “anyone could be that irresponsible.”
But Biden soon found himself subjected to a classified documents scandal, with documents from his run as vice president found in his Wilmington home and at the Penn Biden Center think tank in Washington.
Biden’s campaign fears Trump could use the report and any accompanying photos to create equivalency with his charges, the outlet reported.
Hur’s investigation is believed to be finished and could be released as soon as this week.

Trump’s investigation has already led to photos being released from the Mar-a-Lago raid, including of documents marked “top secret” and stashes of boxes inside a bathroom. Given that fact, the former president is likely to make a lot of noise about any release of photos from Biden’s investigation.
Biden insists the garage at his home is a secure site, saying last January that “my Corvette is in a locked garage. OK? So, it’s not like they’re sitting out in the street.”
