    The report’s author assumed that it was wilful - they didn’t find anything to back up that assumption.

      There was no assuming…

      From the report page 65 Biden says: “They didn’t even know I have this” In reference to notes he knows he shouldn’t have still

      Then on page 77 biden says: “I didn’t want to turn them in” again reference to notes he should not have retained.

      These are both from audio recordings, so there is actually plenty of evidence to suggest he willfully retained classified docs he knew he shouldn’t have.

      I’m assuming you didn’t read the report before making this comment.

        That Mr. Biden was mistaken in his legal judgment is not enough to prove he acted willfully, which requires intent to do something the law forbids

        Everyone thought that diaries were personal and not part of the records (which were carefully stored) because that was the convention adopted by previous presidents.

          He wasn’t “mistaken in his legal judgement”

          Pg 65 biden says this: “They didn’t even know I have this”

          He knew he had clasified info he wasnt suppoed to have, then bragged about retaining them just like trump…

          He even went to a SCIF multiple times to review his notes, because he knew that’s where they were supposed to be…
