After special counsel report, Biden to name task force to protect classified docs

After special counsel report, Biden to name task force to protect classified docs
*** Special counsel releasing *** scathing report Thursday that found President Joe Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified military and national security information but said charges would not be filed, saying they were unwarranted even if Justice Department policy didn't preclude charges against *** sitting president. President Biden holding *** last minute primetime address Thursday night to discuss the report. The special counsel acknowledged I cooperated completely. I did not throw up any roadblocks. The 345 page report comes after *** 15 month long investigation into his mishandling of classified documents following his time as vice president under President Barack Obama. Photos released by the Department of Justice show classified documents stashed under printers at an office in his Delaware home. Others in boxes in *** garage. The pictures of these documents taken between December of 2022 and January of 2023 before being seized by the DOJ. The White House pushing back on what it called inaccurate and inappropriate comments in the report. Including *** reference that Biden would likely present himself to *** jury as sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with *** poor memory. Special Counsel Robert Herr writing Biden did not remember when he was vice president or when his son Beau died. These assertions are not only misleading, they're just plain wrong. When asked about his memory, he fired back at. Reporters, my memory is fine. He focused on the fact that charges weren't filed against him, unlike former President Donald Trump, who is facing multiple criminal charges related to his handling of classified documents. Republicans quick to react. The special counsel's observation was pretty stunning. It's unnerving that the world can see this. I'm Jen Sullivan reporting.

On Friday, the White House said Biden would soon name a task force "to ensure that there are better processes in place" to protect classified materials when administrations change.A day after the report was made public, Vice President Kamala Harris slammed the report that raised questions about the president's memory, calling it "politically motivated" and "gratuitous."The report from Hur, the former Maryland U.S. Attorney selected by Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Biden found evidence that Biden willfully held onto and shared with a ghostwriter highly classified information, but laid out why he did not believe the evidence met the standard for criminal charges, including a high probability that the Justice Department would not be able to prove Biden's intent beyond a reasonable doubt.The report described the 81-year-old Democrat's memory as "hazy," "fuzzy," "faulty," "poor" and having "significant limitations." It noted that Biden could not recall defining milestones in his own life such as when his son Beau died or when he served as vice president.Taking a question from a reporter at the conclusion of a gun violence prevention event at the White House, Harris said that as a former prosecutor, she considered Hur's comments "gratuitous, inaccurate, and inappropriate."She noted that Biden's two-day sit-down with Hur occurred just after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel, where more than 1,200 people were killed and about 250 were taken hostage 바카라 게임 웹사이트” including many Americans."It was an intense moment for the commander in chief of the United States of America," Harris said, saying she spent countless hours with Biden and other officials in the days that followed and he was "on top of it all."She added that "the way that the president's demeanor in that report was characterized could not be more wrong on the facts and clearly politically motivated, gratuitous."Harris concluded saying a special counsel should have a "higher level of integrity than what we saw."Her comments came a day after Biden insisted that his "memory is fine." and grew visibly angry at the White House, as he denied forgetting when his son died.

A day after the report was made public, Vice President Kamala Harris slammed the report that raised questions about the president's memory, calling it "politically motivated" and "gratuitous."

The report from Hur, the former Maryland U.S. Attorney selected by Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Biden found evidence that Biden willfully held onto and shared with a ghostwriter highly classified information, but laid out why he did not believe the evidence met the standard for criminal charges, including a high probability that the Justice Department would not be able to prove Biden's intent beyond a reasonable doubt.

"It was an intense moment for the commander in chief of the United States of America," Harris said, saying she spent countless hours with Biden and other officials in the days that followed and he was "on top of it all."

She added that "the way that the president's demeanor in that report was characterized could not be more wrong on the facts and clearly politically motivated, gratuitous."

Harris concluded saying a special counsel should have a "higher level of integrity than what we saw."

Her comments came a day after Biden insisted that his "memory is fine." and grew visibly angry at the White House, as he denied forgetting when his son died. Beau Biden died of brain cancer in 2015 at the age of 46.
