White House finishes review of special counsel's report on Biden classified docs probe, declines to assert privilege

The White House has concluded its review of the special counsel's report on his probe into classified documents found at residences associated with President Biden.

The White House says it will not seek to censor any information gathered by special counsel Robert Hur in his report on his investigation into classified documents found at residences associated with President Joe Biden.

Ian Sams, a spokesperson for the White House counsel’s office, said in a statement on Thursday that the president’s legal team had completed a review of the report and, “In keeping with his commitment to cooperation and transparency,” the president would not assert any executive privilege.

The completion of the White House review paves the way for the Justice Department to release the report to Congress and the public in the coming days.

Attorney General Merrick Garland earlier this week informed key lawmakers that Hur had concluded his investigation, which examined how approximately two dozen classified documents wound up at Biden’s personal home and office.
