House Republicans gain subpoena power for the first time during Biden’s presidency.
The White House has been taking a beating over President Joe Biden’s handling of classified materials from when he was vice president and has started swinging back.
Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki tweeted this call"was reflection of their recognition they need to be on more aggressive footing after last week" and added that"the best defense is a strong offense." "So, you're the one here talking to us about this. That's why we're asking you. So let's just remember that," yet another reporter said during a briefing. Jean-Pierre chided him, saying it was unnecessary to be “contentious.”
“Information is going to develop. That’s a natural part of any investigation,” Sams said. “As soon as the searches were underway looking for additional documents to be properly handed to the government, we wanted to be respectful to provide as complete information as we could, trying to balance with the need to provide information to you all consistent with the investigation.”
The controversy comes at a perilous time for the White House. Republicans are taking control of key congressional committees and gaining subpoena power for the first time during Biden’s presidency. Biden is mulling a reelection bid and appears to be nearing an announcement. He now must explain to voters why his handling of classified information was better than that of his once and possibly future rival for the White House, the already-declared Trump.
