It is recalled that President Joe Biden’s legal team discovered a second batch of classified documents in a storage area in the garage of his home in Wilmington
An independent attorney will investigate whether President Joe Biden mishandled classified files found at properties where he moved or worked.
The above was announced by Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Robert Hurr, who has worked in the field of terrorism and corporate fraud, will lead the investigation, District Attorney Merrick Garland confirms.
Hurr has served as U.S. Attorney, among other high-profile positions.
“I will ensure that Mr. Hurr receives all the resources he needs to do his job,” Garland said.
President Joe Biden’s legal team has discovered a second batch of classified documents from the current White House occupant’s time as vice president of the United States in a storage space in the garage of his home in Wilmington, Delaware, the White House announced today.
It is recalled that the announcement by Richard Sauber, a special adviser to Biden, comes a few days after the White House said that an older batch of documents had been discovered in November in an office cupboard at a University of Pennsylvania think tank used by Biden after he left from the vice presidency.
The revelations have created legal and political headaches for Biden as he prepares to seek re-election to the US presidency.
A single document was found in a room next to the garage in Wilmington, and no documents were found at Biden’s home in Rehoboth Beach, Sauber said in a statement. The government is “fully cooperating” to ensure the records are handled properly, Sauber said.
There are differences between the revelation that Biden’s legal team found classified documents at his properties and the Justice Department’s ongoing investigation into former President Donald Trump’s refusal to turn over classified documents the Republican tycoon took with him from the White House.
The former president kept thousands of government records, some hundreds of them classified, at his Florida residence for more than a year after leaving the White House and did not immediately or willingly return them despite numerous requests from the National Files.
When he finally handed over 15 boxes of records in January 2022, the National Archives discovered that more than 100 were classified. The matter was referred to the Justice Department in the spring, and a special counsel was appointed to oversee the investigation.
