Fox News
Ex- Special Counsel Robert Hur testified that President Biden “willfully retained classified materials," but said he “had to consider" the president’s “memory and overall mental state" when determining whether to bring charges against him.
Brooke Singman is a political correspondent and reporter for Fox News Digital, Fox News Channel and FOX Business.
"My team and I conducted a thorough, independent investigation," Hur testified. "We identified evidence that the President willfully retained classified materials after the end of his vice presidency, when he was a private citizen."
"This evidence included an audiorecorded conversation during which Mr. Biden told his ghostwriter that he had ‘just found all the classified stuff downstairs.' When Mr. Biden said this, he was a private citizen speaking to his ghostwriter in his private rental home in Virginia," Hur continued. "We also identified other recorded conversations during which Mr. Biden read classified information aloud to his ghostwriter."
