President Joe Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen,” but the similar document scandal involving former President Donald Trump was markedly worse, according to special counsel Robert Hur.

In a 388-page report released Thursday, the U.S. Department of Justice declined to bring charges against Biden over his retention and sharing of “marked classified” documents about U.S. military and foreign policy in Afghanistan and handwritten notebooks about other matters “implicating sensitive intelligence sources and methods.”

And, to justify the lack of charges, at least to some degree, Hur references the 45th president’s classified document woes.
