President Joe Biden gave a rare, unexpected press conference Thursday night in which he blamed his staff for mishandling classified documents and snapped at reporters’ questions.
The president delivered remarks Thursday evening in response to a special counsel report on his handling of classified documents. Biden’s special address comes after Special Counsel Robert Hur concluded his investigation by declining to press charges despite stating that Biden had, in fact, mishandled classified documents.
Biden pinned the findings on his staff. “I take responsibility for not having seen exactly what my staff was doing,” he said.
