been released about president biden's handling of classified documents that were found at his home and office. this follows a year-long investigation by special counsel robert hur, into just how those documents many of which appear to be from the obama administration got stored there and why. this investigations, separate from the case against former president trump who has been charged for alleged lead mishandling classified documents, the white house says president biden voluntarily returned the documents and cooperated with the investigation. ken dalanian is the justice correspondent. what did the report find? >> robert hur find that president biden did willfully retain and disclosed classified information which is a crime, but ultimately decided that criminal charges are not warranted in this case and he said that that would be true despite the justice department's policy that a sitting president can't be charged.

in other words, even if that policy wasn't in place, mr. hur would have recommended no criminal charges against the former president. nonetheless, there are significant findings in here. the most alarming of which is that the special counsel found that then-vice president biden discussed finding classified documents at a home he was using in virginia in 2017 in a recording with a ghostwriter who was working on his memoir, and so -- and the special counsel concluded that those were likely the same documents that the fbi found in mr. biden's home in delaware in 2022, and that was a significant fact, an incriminating fact, but the special counsel also found that mr. biden may rell have forgotten about that incident and that it would be, in any case, very difficult to prove a criminal case, and i just want to read you a very telling passage mr. hur's team wrote. we also considered that at trial

mr. biden would likely present himself to a jury as he did during our interview with him as a sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory and based on our direct interactions and observations with him, he is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt. so, in other words, they found that while mr. biden did willfully retain this classified information, it is unlikely they can win a conviction and it wouldn't be in the interest of justice, and i should say, letter, this report makes a point of distinguishing this biden case from the trump case. it says that, you know, its role is not to evaluate the prosecution of mr. trump, but based on the plain facts there are several distinguishing features, meaning that mr. trump refused to hand over classified documents that were requested and ordering subordinates to destroy evidence and then lie about it. so rob hur, special counsel who is a longtime republican appointeded by attorney general merrick garland saying there is

a clear distifrpgs between the conduct of president biden and the conduct of mr. trump. the other significant thing i want to communicate with you is the main classified document that mr. biden apparently withheld and kept at his home had to do with his role in a debate over surging troops to afghanistan during the obama administration back in 2009. as you recall, mr. biden was one of the few voices arguing against sending more troops to afghanistan and the report said he wanted to preserve the record of his argument except that those were highly classified at some of the highest levels of the government and so he kept those documents and the report says he calls kept a series of notebooks that mingled personal everyday diary-like observations with highly classified material and the report makes clear that these actions in the view of the special counsel presented a serious risk to national security, bu lester, ultimately it did not rise to the level of

a criminal prosecution. >> ken delanian, the area where these documents were found in the then-vice president's home in delaware, also some were found in offices. i want to bring an nbc news legal analyst danny cevallos. it seemed special counsel tried to pre-butt criticism that it was handled in the way donald trump's were. >> there may have been a crime, but instead of concluding that there was or wasn't a crime that the crime might not be prosecutable or that they were not likely to win. it's a very surprising conclusion and probably the most surprising part of it can be boiled down to one word and that is willfulness. that is key here. when it comes to document retention, classified document retention the key word is willfulness. was it don inadvertently or

willfully, intentionally and the report appears to conclude that -- excuse me, president biden did retain those documents willfully and then goes on to conclude that a prosecution would not be successful for other reasons, and you talk about the distinction between the trump case and the biden case made in the report, and what's very interesting is that hur points out what we've all known for some time is that the difference is that biden came clean right away. go look at whatever you want. i'm not objecting. take a look anywhere you want and that's exactly what the government did. trump, on the other hand, allegedly did the exact opposite. so in this case, what is normally in a criminal prosecution a mitigating factor, in this case appears to have exonerated biden whereas normally prosecutors might consider someone coming clean as a piece of litigation, here it's a major factor in not bringing a prosecution and the reason appears to be at this point not because they didn't believe there was a crime, but because they don't believe they would be successful. >> all right.

danny, thank you. stand by. letngn white house correspondent peter alexander. peter, the administration's been bracing for this. they've got to be happy there are no criminal charges here, but some of the language that ken delanian walked through in the report has to be troubling to them. >> there are two ways to view this 379-page review that appears to be a year-long investigation by special counsel robert hur, he is a former u.s. attorney for the state of maryland who worked under the trump administration, that was done strategically in effect by the attorney general in a way to sort of make sure that this was isolated for many claims of politicization and the accusation that was a biden department and we heard that from former president donald trump and from some republicans here. we do have the first opportunity, perhaps to hear from the president. he will be departing the white

house to meet with republicans if he speaks. we will share that with you. we do know the white house earlier this week was given the opportunity, the white house counsel's office, the attorneys here at the white house and the president's personal lawyers the chance to review these -- these document, the 379 pages of this report. we learned only a few hours ago that the white house would not be asserting any executive privilege claims. that bally means in an effort to be transparent here they said they were open to all of the report in its entirety being shared, but lester, as you noted it is some of the details within that report that you can anticipate some of the real criticism coming up with this president. importantly, for the white house he is not being accused -- effectively accused of any crimes here as they say. it does not establish mr. biden's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, but there's one phrase i think you will hear often going forward and these are words used by the special counsel robert hur in this report. he said among other things that

the president, president biden cast himself in effect as an elderly man with a poor memory who hur said would be sympathetic to a jury. obviously, in the realm of politics right now as we look ahead to what is more likely to be a re-match between former president trump and joe biden the issue of the president's mental capabilities and his age has come up repeated lead and it's been a point of criticism and attacks of republicans from the very start here and that is something that they'll be certain to hone in on. it is important to note also, lester, is that within this document, within this 379-page report, robert hur does the work differentiating between the circumstances of joe biden's handling of classified documents noting that just a day after his personal lawyers first found some of those documents in an office, the biden penn center here in washington, d.c., an office he used during his time

as vice president and president, it was only a day that passed before that evidence was handed over to the national archives and those in charge of any classified documents. compare that to the circumstance wes the former president donald trump who repeatedly, as you know, did very much the opposite. he didn't immediately turn over all of the documents, finally, when he turned over some documents he only turned over some of those documents having repeatedly resisted requests from the national archives and of course, he failed to respond to a subpoena before the fbi ultimately executed a search warrant at his mar-a-lago property. similarly, president biden aloud allowed the fbi to do the search for themselves. >> let me bring in kristen welker, moderator of "meet the press." we talked to danny about the legal distinctions between this document case and the trump document case, but will those

distinks matter in the wild, wide world of presidential politics? >> it may be this issue that the classified documents gets neutralized. president biden has been legally cleared of any crime, but politically speaking he's not cleared and that is going to be a challenge. republicans are going to capitalize on the language in this report. as peter just mentioned, calling him an elderly man with a poor memory, that is incredibly harsh language and that is something that could stick. will this be neutralized? that's one of the questions we will be watching for, but lester, i'm having flashbacks to 2016 when hillary clinton, then-fbi director james comey essentially cleared her legally of mishandling classified do you mean, but again, politically didn't let her off the hook. that became a political firestorm in her campaign. you could argue it's one of the

reasons why she did not win the 2016 election. so how will this play out now? again, you could see a neutralizing effect even though there are massive differences between president biden and former president trump handled classified do you means and could this neutralize in the minds of voters. one of the things i'm watching for, lester, how does president biden decide to respond? does he get ahead of the narrative? does he decide to define how the public views this? if he does, that could potentially be a powerful way of dealing with it if you talk to democrats. if he doesn't it could compound his challenges. we'll have to see, lester, a lot of unknowns. >> give us a few seconds here, danny, very quickly the trial -- the trump trial for classified documents issues that's been ush. ed down the road. >> it is. like many of these criminal cases it has been pushed down the road and it will know to be as will the others simply because of the complexity involved. it's expected that these would

be cases that would be pushed down and we can expect it might each happen again. danny cevallos, thank you. that concludes the nbc news special report. we have more on the nbc news now and online at nbc news.com and i'll see you with"nbc nightly news." i'm lester holt. good day. tly news." i'm lester holt. good day. so i didn't think i needed swiffer, until, i saw how easily it picked up my hair every time i dried it! only takes a minute. look at that! the heavy duty cloths are extra thick, for amazing trap & lock. even for his hair. wow. and for dust, i love my heavy duty duster. the fluffy fibers trap dust on contact, up high and all around without having to lift a thing. i'm so hooked. you'll love swiffer. or your money back! when my doctor gave me breztri for my copd things changed for me. breztri gave me better breathing, symptom improvement, and reduced flare-ups.

. welcome to "nbc news daily." we'll start with the supreme court. it's poised to make a monumental decision today. >> this could have dramatic implications for the 2024 election and well beyond. justices today heard arguments on a case which centers around a colorado lawsuit. that state's supreme court ruled to disqualify former president trump from the primary ballot in colorado over his role in the january 6th insurrection. >> this particular paragraph of the constitution added right after the civil war is at the heart of the case. it reads no person who has previously taken an oath as an officer of the united states should hold an office if she engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the constitution. >> so, tell us what's been happening inside and outside today. i know oral arguments are over,

but what did we hear? >> the big headline at the supreme court are that the majority of supreme court justices sounded skeptical of colorado's argument that former president trump could be kicked off the republican primary ballot. we had both justices who are considered liberal and conservative questioning whether colorado as one state can make the case that they can take him off of the ballot. we also heard robust arguments from both sides. on the trump side, the lawyer for him arguing that all of this, the section 3 of the 14th amendment does not apply to him for a number of reasons. chief among them, he's not an insurrectionist. we heard from lawyers for the state of colorado arguing that trump was trying to disenfranchise millions of americans and did, in fact, partake in an insurrection. afterwards, we heard from plaintiffs, take a listen to one of them now. >> as a republican, i believe in

rule of law. i believe in our constitution. i believe in its plain words that said you cannot take an oath of office and then subvert that oath and foment violence and insurrection. >> colorado's secretary of state told nbc news after the oral arguments wrapped that ballots are already being mailed out. they want a quick decision here. legal experts believe the supreme court will likely make a decision in the next couple of weeks. zinhle, kate? >> andrew, let's bring you in. one of the key arguments in this whole case is whether or not trump engaged in insurrection. i want us to play an exchange between team trump, trump's lawyer and scotus justice ketanji brown jackson. we only have audio. >> for an insurrection there needs to be an organized, concerted effort to overthrow the government of the united states through violence. this riot -- >> the point is that a chaotic

effort to overthrow the government is not an insurrection? >> we did not concede it was an effort to overthrow the government. none of these criteria met. it was not an insurrection. the events were shameful, criminal, violent, but it did not qualify as an insurrection as used in section 3. >> to be clear, the former president has not been convicted of insurrection. what do you make of the lawyers arguments here? >> one thing that's really interesting is the clip you played, it's basically the only time that sort of factual issue came up in the argument. basically everyone was steering clear of that. there's a very clear record, and even donald trump's lawyer -- i'm not sure how his client, donald trump, would feel about the fact that his lawyer in court was saying it's wrong, it's shameful because donald trump has been embracing what happened on january 6th. the basic thrust of the argument today, this is the one area

whether there is a single justice who will agree with the colorado position. it seems clear it's going to get reversed. it really is about federalism. most of the discussion was about do you really let each and every state do this or should it be decided by congress with a national scope when you're dealing with a national election for president? >> justice clarence thomas recused himself from a case back in october that had to do with january 6th. despite calls for him to do that on this case, he did not recuse himself. can you remind us where that stands? what did he have to say today? >> this is a really interesting complication here. justice clarence thomas' wife, ginni thomas, she was very much involved in, people would say, efforts to overturn the election. she was at the january 6th rally. she did not break into the capital, to be clear, but she was texting white house officials saying they continue

to fight even after it was made very clear that donald trump had lost the election. she did that. justice clarence thomas was in side court today and asking questions. so he did not recuse himself. >> thank you very much. coming up, a new solution that could help many get treatment at home. you're watching "nbc news daily." we're also streaming free 24/7 on nbc news now. 24/7 on nbc news now. e news continues ath ft if you're living with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis or active psoriatic arthritis, symptoms can sometimes take you out of the moment. now there's skyrizi, so you can show up with clearer skin... ...and show it off. ♪ nothing is everything ♪
