Biden lied to the American people about classified documents probe, says former Whitewater counsel

Special Counsel Robert Hur released a report Thursday detailing President Biden's mishandling of classified documents but added there would be no charges, citing concerns over the president's mental fitness. Hur's scathing report dealt a major blow to Biden; however, former Whitewater Deputy Independent Counsel Sol Wisenberg argued on "Fox & Friends" on Friday that the more "significant" development from Thursday was the president "lied" about key details that Hur found.

BIDEN LASHES OUT AT REPORTERS ASKING ABOUT AGE CONCERNS AFTER SPECIAL COUNSEL REPORT: ‘THAT IS YOUR JUDGMENT!’

SOL WISENBERG: That's not really not a legal strategy. He doesn't need to have a legal strategy when the special prosecutor says we're not going to indict him because his mental capacity is so limited, a jury would be sympathetic to him. What I thought was significant about last night, from a legal perspective, is that, unfortunately, the president came out and lied about what Special Counsel Hur found. The special counsel said there is evidence that Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified information when he was a private citizen. Willful is important in this context. Willfully means not only were you deliberately doing it, but you knew it was in violation of the law. Now, the special counsel also said, we don't think a jury would necessarily convict him. And one of the big reasons is they would have great sympathy for him because of his mental decline. Those weren't his exact words, but that's in effect what he said. So, that's how I view that the president very clearly lied about that and other things last night. But he doesn't need to have a legal strategy, he's gotten a free pass.
