Biden said: “All the stuff that was in my home was in filing cabinets 
that were either locked or able to be locked.”

Facts First: Biden’s claim is not true. The special counsel’s report 
says that while some of the classified documents were found in cabinet 
drawers in Biden’s Delaware home, other classified documents, about 
Afghanistan, were found in an “unsealed” and “badly damaged” box sitting 
in his garage alongside an assortment of other items the special counsel 
described as “household detritus.” The report includes a photo of the box.

Biden claimed of the documents he possessed: “None of it was high 
classified. It didn’t have any of that red stuff on it, you know what I 
mean, around the corners? None of that.”

Facts First: Biden’s claim that none of the classified material found in 
his possession was highly classified is false, according to details 
provided by the special counsel. Hur reported the discovery of documents 
in Biden’s possession that had markings identifying them as “Top 
Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information,” a very high level of 
classification – plus handwritten notebooks from Biden’s time as vice 
president that weren’t marked as classified but that “contain 
information that remains classified up to the Top Secret/Sensitive 
Compartmented Information level.”


Hur said in the report that Biden disclosed classified material from his 
notebooks to the ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer,  who worked with him on a 
2017 memoir called “Promise Me, Dad.” But Biden categorically denied 
that he had shared classified information with the ghostwriter, saying 
he can “guarantee” he didn’t.

When a reporter responded that the special counsel said he did, Biden 
responded, “No, they did not say that. He did not say that.”

Facts First: Biden’s claim is false. Hur did say that, writing 
explicitly that “Mr. Biden shared information, including some classified 
information, from those notebooks with his ghostwriter.” He elaborated 
that Biden shared classified information with his ghostwriter by reading 
“nearly verbatim” from his notebooks “on at least three occasions,” 
including his “notes from meetings in the Situation Room.”

Hur did find, however, that Biden “at times” tried to avoid sharing 
classified information, by stopping at or skipping over certain material 
from the notebooks. And he wrote that “the evidence does not show that 
when Mr. Biden shared the specific passages with his ghostwriter, Mr. 
Biden knew the passages were classified and intended to share classified 
information.”

Hur wrote that in one recorded conversation with the ghostwriter in 
2017, at the Virginia home where Biden then lived, Biden read from his 
notebook about a National Security Council meeting about Iraq in 2015, 
then told the ghostwriter about a 2009 memo he had written to Obama 
arguing against the deployment of more troops to Afghanistan – and then 
said, “I just found all the classified stuff downstairs.” Hur noted that 
more than five years later, investigators found classified documents 
about the Afghanistan troop surge in Biden’s Delaware garage.
