After the Biden administration claimed that the search for more classified documents was complete more than a week ago, officials have uncovered additional classified materials.
On Friday, the FBI spent nearly 13 hours searching U.S. President Joe Biden’s private home in Wilmington, where they seized six new items of classified documents, which include materials that date back to when Biden was a Delaware Senator.
New questions have been raised if this has been a pattern for the president to mishandle classified information.
Current Senators say they are confused as to how Biden had classified documents from years ago because the process does not allow lawmakers to carry classified documents out of the Capitol.
“I review classified material as a Senator on the Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees,” Sen. Tim Kaine said.
“But when I do it, it’s always in a classified facility or I don’t have access to the materials other than to sit there and read them so that’s why there needs to be this independent investigation and independent prosecutor,” he said.
The House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer is officially requesting the Secret Service reveal a list of visitors to the President’s Wilmington home— information which the White House believes should remain private.
While the Biden team consented to a search, so they knew when the FBI was coming. But some House Republicans still think the Biden team is hiding something.
“This has all the patterns of an influence peddling scheme, and it also has the makings of a potential cover-up,” Comer said.
Now, the Justice Department is reportedly considering searching other properties linked to the president.
