With Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report on Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents set to drop as soon as this week, the president’s campaign has expressed worry about how the American people will react to the findings.

While they do not think that Biden’s actions will warrant prosecution, there is a fear among some that the ways in which he stored the sensitive material in question will be embarrassing, and thus impact his bid for re-election.



According to Axios, sources within the Biden campaign said that they are particularly anxious about photos included in Hur’s report revealing exactly where the current commander in chief kept classified documents from his time as Barack Obama’s Vice President.

Biden stored papers all over the place, and while some locations, such as the Penn Biden Center at the University of Pennsylvania, did not warrant excessive scrutiny, others did.

The White House Counsel's Office inspected the residences in Rehoboth Beach and Wilmington, Delaware after it was discovered that Biden had kept a collection of Obama-era classified documents at his UPenn office and found that he had kept documents in his sports car.

While this drew a fair amount of criticism, Biden defended his actions.

"By the way,” he said during an interview last year, “my Corvette is in a locked garage, so it's not like they're sitting out on the street."

Biden’s top rival, former President Donald Trump, is currently facing 40 criminal counts for his handling of classified documents, and the president’s aides have expressed concern that his predecessor and potential successor could use the contents of Hur’s report against him.

Hur was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland, who vowed to release as much of the report as possible.

Garland also said he expects Hur to testify upon completion of his report, as most special counsels do.
