Trump's lawyers call for dismissal of classified documents case, citing presidential immunity

Trump's lawyers call for dismissal of classified documents case, citing presidential immunity
*** 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.
