President Joe Biden will likely avoid criminal charges over the discovery of classified documents at his home and former private office because of one key fact, according to a former federal prosecutor.
Nick Akerman, a lawyer who served as a member of the Watergate prosecution team, said during a Tuesday appearance on the NewsNation TV network that Biden may not face legal penalties simply because the statute of limitations has run out.
During the NewsNation interview, host Adrienne Bankert asked Akerman: "In terms of legality, could he [Biden] face any consequences for having these documents for such a long period of time, from when he was a sitting vice president?"
