The Justice Department said Thursday morning that the president was asserting executive privilege over the recordings with special counsel Robert Hur.
The controversial report from Republican special counsel Robert Hur has sparked new debate about President Biden's age and his decision to seek reelection. In his report, Hur recommended no criminal prosecution regarding President Biden's retention of classified documents, but he did refer to the president's memory at least nine times, describing him as a "well meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." Christina Ruffini has the latest.
Special counsel Robert Hur issued a report Thursday on President Biden's handling of classified documents, which criticized Mr. Biden's handling of the documents, but found that no criminal charges were warranted. Mr. Biden responded to the report in a speech in Leesburg, Virginia, saying, "The matter is now closed."
Special counsel Robert Hur is overseeing an inquiry related to the discovery of documents with classification markings at President Biden's Wilmington home and former private office.
