Biden docs revelation fuels Republicans as they flex new power
CBSN
Washington — The revelation that a small number of documents marked classified were discovered in President Biden's former office at a think tank in Washington is fueling House Republicans' criticisms of the Justice Department and drawing promises of investigations into the matter by the new House majority.
CBS News reported Monday that Mr. Biden's personal lawyers found roughly 10 documents marked classified in his vice-presidential office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington. The documents, which date to when Mr. Biden was vice president, were found Nov. 2, days before the midterm elections, Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president, told CBS News.
The White House counsel's office notified the National Archives and Records Administration of the discovery that day, and the agency retrieved the materials the following morning, Sauber said. Attorney General Merrick Garland assigned the U.S. attorney in Chicago, a holdover from the Trump administration, to review the documents and how the material ended up at the center.
