Biden kept classified documents to prove he was right and Obama was wrong about Afghanistan, special counsel says

• Biden kept classified information hoping history would prove Obama wrong, according to Robert Hur.
• Biden took particular exception to Obama's controversial decision to surge US troops in Afghanistan.
• Biden's lawyers took exception to the notion that the now-president cared so much about the documents historical value.

Special Counsel Robert Hur concluded that part of the reason President Joe Biden kept classified information after leaving the vice presidency was to prove that President Barack Obama was wrong about surging US troops in Afghanistan in 2009.
