Democrats brace for Hur’s classified documents report into Biden

Published February 8, 2024 6:00am ET



Special counsel Robert Hur’s report into President Joe Biden‘s mishandling of classified documents is expected to create political headaches for the incumbent in an election year.

Although unlikely to recommend criminal charges, the report, covering Hur’s yearlong investigation, is likely to exacerbate concerns about Biden’s competency and encourage comparisons between his case and the prosecution of former President Donald Trump in his federal classified documents matter.

Attorney General Merrick Garland confirmed in a letter to Congress on Wednesday that Hur completed his investigation into Biden’s classified documents and that once the White House finishes its review of the report, he will make “as much of the Special Counsel’s report public as possible.”
