After the White House revealed that classified materials were found stored in the garage of Joe Biden’s Wilmington residence, reporters were anxious to hear an explanation from the president …
“I am going to get a chance to speak on all of this, God willing, soon, but as I said earlier this week — and by the way, my Corvette is in a locked garage, so it is not like it was sitting out on the street … People know that I take classified documents and classified material seriously. I also said we are cooperating fully and completely with the Justice Department’s review.
Sauber said that following the discovery of government documents at the Penn Biden Center in November, the president’s lawyers conducted a search of other locations where files from Biden’s time as vice president may have been shipped during the 2017 transition. It was then that they discovered “a small number of additional Obama-Biden Administration records with classified markings. All but one of these documents were found in storage space in the President’s Wilmington garage.
The news earlier this week of the document discovery at the Penn Biden Center quickly became the No. 1 topic among the White House press corps and across much of political media this week, with its potential to undermine the Justice Department’s investigation into the discovery of classified material at Mar-a-Lago last year. Some Republicans on Capitol Hill have called for a special counsel to investigate the Biden case, just as a special counsel is overseeing the Trump probe.
But Biden has criticized Trump over the handling of classified material, as CNN pointed out earlier this week, as it has focused extensively on the story. On Thursday, just before Biden spoke, the network showed a graphic of unanswered questions about the discovery of classified material in Biden’s files, including why the initial November discovery was revealed only recently.
