Biden: Pleased that no charges brought in documents case

President Joe Biden said on Thursday he was pleased that a special counsel concluded an investigation into his handling of classified documents without bringing charges.

"I was pleased to see they reached the conclusion I believed all along they would reach – that there would be no charges brought in this case and the matter is now closed," Biden said in a statement released by the White House.

"I cooperated completely, threw up no roadblocks, and sought no delays. In fact, I was so determined to give the Special Counsel what they needed that I went forward with five hours of in-person interviews over two days on October 8th and 9th of last year, even though Israel had just been attacked on October 7th and I was in the middle of handling an international crisis," Biden said.
