Biden 'willfully' kept classified materials, had 'poor memory': Special counsel

• The special counsel investigating President Joe Biden over his handling of classified documents released his final report.
• Biden "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency," Department of Justice special counsel Robert Hur wrote.
• The report comes nearly 13 months after Attorney General Merrick Garland picked Robert Hur as special counsel to handle the probe.
• Former President Donald Trump is criminally charged with retaining classified documents after leaving the White House and concealing them from the government.

President Joe Biden "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency," Department of Justice special counsel said in a report released Thursday.

But special counsel Robert Hur also said that he would not criminally prosecute Biden for his handling of that material.

The FBI found classified documents, which by law should have been given back to the U.S. government when Biden ended his second term as vice president in January 2017, in the garage, office, and basement den of his Wilmington, Delaware, home, Hur's report said.

The documents included classified material about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, and notebooks containing Biden's entries about national security.

"Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen," Hur wrote in his nearly 400-page report.

"He knew he kept classified information in notebooks stored in his house and he knew he was not allowed to do so," the special counsel said.

Biden even shared some classified information with his ghostwriter for his second memoir, "Promise Me, Dad," published
