Biden's team ramping up press criticism following Special Counsel report

President Biden's team appears to be ramping up criticism of the press following the release of the special counsel report on the president's handling of classified documents.

White House Counsel spokesman Ian Sams wrote a letter to The White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) following the release of the report and complained about the press coverage of its findings.

Sams took issue with reports that said Biden "willfully" mishandled classified documents, the Associated Press reported Wednesday. Special Counsel Robert Hur did not recommend charges against the president following a months-long investigation into Biden's handling of classified materials.

Hur said his investigation "uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen."

But, Hur said that the evidence "does not establish Mr. Biden’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt."

Sams argued that Hur's decision to not press charges nullified the idea that the president "willfully" retained classified material, the Associated Press reported.

"But those facts stress the importance of careful, patient coverage," Sams wrote in the letter, according to CNN. "Instead, many outlets have reported striking inaccuracies that misrepresent the report’s conclusion about the President, and reporters in the White House Briefing Room have asked questions that include false content or are based on false premises."

Kelly O'Donnell, the president of the WHCA, argued that the White House's concerns should have been addressed in reaching out to specific news organizations.
