特别检察官罗伯特·胡尔已经完成了对在总统名下多处房产中发现的机密文件的调查乔·拜登知情人士向ABC新闻证实，预计将在“未来几天”发布他的最终报告。
消息人士称，具体日期尚未确定。《华盛顿邮报》最先报道了该报告即将发布的消息。
美国广播公司新闻以前报告过特别顾问的调查发现，在拜登担任参议院议员和副总统期间，他在处理机密文件时存在马虎和其他错误——但对机密文件的不当处理更有可能是一个错误，而不是犯罪行为。
特别检察官Hur办公室的发言人拒绝置评。
2022年底，白宫告诉国家档案馆，带有分类标记的文件被发现了位于华盛顿特区的佩恩·拜登中心——2017年初拜登副总统任期届满后的私人办公室所在地。
拜登的私人律师后来告知调查人员附加分类记录是在拜登位于特拉华州威尔明顿的家中的车库里被发现的——这一进展促使司法部任命胡尔为特别顾问进一步调查。
总共在与拜登有关的地点发现了大约25份标记为机密的文件。
Special counsel in Biden classified docs probe expects to issue report 'in coming days': Sources
Special counsel Robert Hur has completed his investigation into classified documents found at a number of properties associated with PresidentJoe Bidenand is expected to release his final report "in the coming days," sources familiar with the matter confirmed to ABC News.
No specific date has yet been set, the sources said. News of the report's upcoming release was first reported by The Washington Post.
ABC Newspreviously reportedthat the special counsel's investigation found sloppiness and other mistakes in the handling of classified documents following Biden's time in the Senate and his vice presidency -- but that the improper handling of classified documents was more likely a mistake than a criminal act.
A spokesperson for special counsel Hur's office declined to comment.
In late 2022, the White House told the National Archives that documents bearing classification markingshad been discoveredat the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C. -- the location of Biden's private office after his term as vice president expired in early 2017.

Biden's personal attorney later informed investigators thatadditional classified recordswere identified in the garage of Biden's Wilmington, Delaware, home -- a development that led the Justice Department to appoint Hur as special counselto investigate further.
In all, about 25 documents marked classified were found in locations associated with Biden.
