Special Counsel Robert Hur has issued his report into how Joe Biden handled classified documents after serving as Barack Obama’s vice-president.

The report finds that Biden “wilfully retained and disclosed classified materials” but no criminal charges are warranted.

Hur comments on the president’s memory, saying it “appeared to have significant limitations” in interviews with investigators.

In an interview, Biden “did not remember when he was vice-president”, and forgot when his term ended, the report says.

In a response included in the report, the White House says the descriptions of Biden’s memory are not “accurate or appropriate.”
