Overview

• The DOJ is set to release a report by Special Counsel Robert Hur, criticizing President Biden and his aides for mishandling classified documents, but will not pursue criminal charges.
• The Biden campaign is concerned that images showing the careless storage of classified documents could embarrass the president and affect his re-election bid.
• Despite the mishandling, Biden is not accused of attempting to obstruct the retrieval of the sensitive documents, unlike former President Trump who faces 40 criminal charges.
• The report's findings are expected to be scrutinized by Republicans, especially as Trump, facing his own legal challenges, could use them against Biden in the presidential contest.
• Special Counsel Hur's investigation, costing nearly $3.5 million, involved interviews with Biden, his aides, and the review of documents found in Biden's home and former office.
