President Joe Biden wasted no time rewarding his top aides who helped in his mishandling of documents after Special Counsel Robert Hur issued his report on the matter, promoting many of them within a day of its release.
Hur’s investigation found that Biden “willfully retained classified materials after the end of his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.”
Despite this, the special counsel ultimately decided not to leverage any charges against the president, claiming that a jury would be unable to convict him as an “elderly man with a poor memory.”
As reported by the New York Post, Annie Tomasini was promoted to a deputy White House chief of staff position on Feb. 8 after serving the sitting president since his time in the Senate.
The next day, Richard Ruffner was promoted to fill the vacant position of director of Oval Office operations left by Tomasini.
