CNN senior legal analyst Ellie Honig said special counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into President Biden’s classified documents scandal has proven that there was some “criminal nature” on the part of Biden.

“Another important thing to note is that Joe Biden, like other members of Joe Biden’s team, also misled the public,” he added, “because in the past 1 For a year or so, the focus of the debate has been, and we’ve seen this repeated over and over again, whether Joe Biden was completely unintentional or whether he said he had these documents. I didn’t know that. ‘Things keep happening. Whoa, what are we going to do?'”
Honig revealed some documents that Biden had kept unintentionally, but it was clear that he kept others intentionally.
He said: “It turned out to be fair to some extent with respect to some documents, but not with respect to others. He absolutely knew he had these documents. ” he said.
