There are big questions as to who potentially had access to those documents.

Growing backlash for President Joe Biden as he continues to struggles to explain how classified documents ended up at his home and private office.

Inside the Oval Office, Biden ignored repeated questions from the White House Press Corp about the scandal.

Later in the day, there was no new information during the press briefing regarding the classified documents that were discovered.

There are still big questions as to who potentially had access to those documents as secret service did not keep watch at Delaware home after Biden was no longer vice President for a number of years.

To further complicate matters—no visitor logs were kept to track who visited Biden’s Delaware home.

The President’s son, Hunter, had access to the home and Republicans have already promised investigations into Hunter’s shady business dealings abroad with a concern that President Biden could be compromised.

Meanwhile, a government watchdog, Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT), has filed a federal complaint about the involvement of the White House Counsel’s office growing classified documents scandal.

“President Biden promised the most ethical and transparent administration in history,” Chamberlain said to media outlets.

“If the White House compounded a scandal involving possible mishandling of classified documents by improperly using taxpayer resources for his personal benefit and putting White House attorneys in positions that created conflicts of interest, we could be witnessing a serious betrayal of the public’s already-plummeting trust.”

A special counsel has been appointed to investigate further the Biden classified document scandal.
