Biden’s team was fully aware of the search—but never disclosed it to the public
More information is coming to light over U.S. President Joe Biden’s classified document scandal.
The FBI searched Biden’s former private office at the Penn Biden Center in mid-November after an initial batch of classified documents were discovered on November 2.
Biden’s team was fully aware of the search – as consent was given, however, it is still unclear if agents retried anything from this search.
Now, despite many claims of transparency—this follow-up search was not disclosed on timeline’s released both by the Present’s personal attorneys and the White House counsel ‘s office.
Meanwhile, members of Congress are still asking to see the classified-documents in question.
“Those document were very sensitive materials and if they pose a counterintelligence or national security threat to the United States, then the intelligence agencies are tasked with the job of coming up with ways to mitigate that,” explained Sen. Marco Rubio, the Vice Chairman of the Intelligence Committee.
“Somehow, the only people who are not allowed to know what was in there are congressional oversight committees, so it’s an untenable situation that I think has to be resolved,” Rubio said.
The FBI and Department of Justice both declined to comment.
