A political analyst has discussed why the United States President, Joe Biden, wasn’t indicted following the release of a report which alleged the president mishandled classified documents.

Senior fellow at the United States studies centre at Sydney University, Bruce Wolpe, says the actions of Biden were completely different to the actions of former US President Donald Trump who has been indicted four times.

“It wasn’t a high crime worthy of indictment, but there was a lot of editorialising he [Special Consul Robert Hur] did on Biden’s mental cognitive abilities … it’s caused a political firestorm,” he told Tom Elliott.
