Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that former U.S. Attorney Robert Hur would serve as special counsel to review the classified documents found at Joe\u2019s home and in an office at a Washington think tank.<\/p>\n
Media reported the classified documents consisted of intelligence memos and briefs on Ukraine, Iran and the United Kingdom. Biden\u2019s crew halted the search when they found the classified documents, so they don\u2019t know exactly what was in them. Seems they weren’t cleared for that level of classification. *cough*<\/p>\n
As this was being addressed at a White House presser more classified materials were found at a second location in Joe’s home.<\/p>\n
Joe’s “surprise” at the existence of the documents and using his garage as a SCIF is not sitting well.<\/p>\n
Strategists, lawmakers and even some administration officials say the Biden White House needs to do a better job in explaining what transpired.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n By Peter Nicholas, Kristen Welker, Carol E. Lee and Mike Memoli<\/p>\n Democratic allies are voicing frustration with White House officials\u2019 tight-lipped approach to the classified documents found in an office and residence of President Joe Biden, calling on the administration to be more forthcoming in its handling of the issue.<\/p>\n The uproar over the documents has quickly distracted from the administration’s policy agenda and could also influence the timing of Biden announcing his 2024 plans. Some Democrats now suggest that he wait and let the controversy wane before launching a re-election bid.<\/p>\n Until then, Biden needs to more fully explain how and why classified records dating back to his vice presidency wound up in his garage and a private office in Washington, D.C., according to Democratic strategists, lawmakers and even administration officials.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s got to say, \u2018I messed up, I apologize,\u2019\u201d said Lanny Davis, who handled various investigations as a lawyer in the Clinton White House.<\/p>\n \u201cWith the wisdom of hindsight, it\u2019s not too late for President Biden to own up to mishandling this,\u201d said Davis, who now works in crisis management. \u201cOwn it!\u201d<\/p>\n The White House has said Biden\u2019s attorneys first discovered a “small number” of classified records stemming from his vice presidency in a locked closet on Nov. 2 \u2014 six days before the midterm elections \u2014 as they vacated office space at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington. One of the documents was marked Top Secret\/Sensitive Compartmented Information, the highest level of classification in the U.S. government, NBC News has learned.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
