Hur's report zeroes in on two buckets of classified materials in particular: documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, and notebooks with Biden's handwritten notes about national security and foreign policy issues.The documents about Afghanistan are from the fall of 2009, the report says, and were found in a box in Biden's Delaware garage.
