The White House said on Friday it was pleased that a special counsel's probe into President Joe Biden's handling of classified documents had concluded without charges knocked the report for "inappropriate" comments.

"As the Special Counsel report acknowledges, mistakes when packing documents at the end of an Administration or when Members of Congress leave office are unfortunately a common occurrence. It's happened with every Administration, Republican and Democrat, for the past 50 years," Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president at the White House, said in a statement.

"We disagree with a number of inaccurate and inappropriate comments in the Special Counsel's report. Nonetheless, the most important decision the Special Counsel made—that no charges are warranted—is firmly based on the facts and evidence," he said.
