Special Counsel calls Biden 'sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,' brings no charges

Special Counsel Robert Hur described President Biden as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," and said he would bring no criminal charges against him after his months-long investigation into his improper retention of classified documents related to national security.

Hur has been investigating Biden’s improper retention of classified records since last year. Those records included classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, among other records related to national security and foreign policy which Hur said implicated "sensitive intelligence sources and methods."  Brooke Singman is a political correspondent and reporter for Fox News Digital, Fox News Channel and FOX Business.

"We conclude that no criminal charges are warranted in this matter," the report states. "We would reach the same conclusion even if the Department of Justice policy did not foreclose criminal charges against a sitting president."

But Hur, in the report, said the special counsel's team "also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."
