"Biden's Handling of Classified Documents Sparks Criticism from National Security Experts and White House Clash with DOJ Over Special Counsel Report"

A report by special counsel Robert Hur revealed that President Joe Biden knowingly kept classified materials at home for years and failed to turn them in, including disclosing classified information to a ghostwriter on multiple occasions and storing notebooks full of state secrets in unlocked drawers. While the evidence of "willful retention" wasn't strong enough for prosecution, some national security experts criticized Biden's handling of classified documents, stating that a senior government official should be held to a higher ethical standard. The report also contradicted the White House's previous statements, and highlighted instances where concerns were raised about mishandling of classified material.
