Watchdog groups demand that classified documents be searched in Biden’s Senate records

Several watchdog groups are calling for classified documents to be searched in Joe Biden’s records from his years in the Senate after another stretch of material was found at his Wilmington, Delaware home.

There are also calls to find your beach house in Rehoboth, Delaware. Biden’s personal lawyers searched the house but said there is no classified material there.

The University of Delaware houses 1,875 boxes and more than 400 gigabytes of digital records from Biden’s 36-year career in the Senate. He deposited his records there at the end of his service.

The National Center for Law and Policy is asking special counsel Robert Hur to review that material as part of his investigation and search the Bidens’ Rehoboth home.

“The FBI needs to search the entire 14,000-square-foot Penn Biden Center where his private attorneys found classified documents they were looking for only in Biden’s private office,” NLPC attorney Paul Kamenar said.

“The FBI also needs to search Biden’s Senate records stored at the University of Delaware, as well as his beach house,” he said.

Other groups are also calling for similar searches. While in the Senate, Biden served on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and had access to classified material. Classified documents relating to that time period were found in her Wilmington home.

“As the number of discoveries of new locations containing classified documents seems to be increasing every day, it is possible that classified material could be found in nearly every place where Joe Biden slept, worked or stored personal belongings,” said Michael Chamberlain, Director of Protect the Public’s Trust, told the washington examiner.

“The fact that the FBI search of Biden’s home last week uncovered more documents than were originally known makes it critical that the Biden Center at the University of Delaware be searched,” said Pete McGinnis, a spokesman for the University of Delaware. Functional Government Initiative.

The White House said it is cooperating with the Justice Department in the investigation.

We are fully cooperating with the DOJ, working with them throughout their investigative steps here and coordinating with them on any future needs. So in terms of searches, potential searches, things like that, I’m not going to preempt any decisions that are made. But, you know, we are fully cooperating with the Department of Justice,” White House spokesman Ian Sams said Monday.

In addition, it was revealed Tuesday that a dozen classified documents were found at the Indiana home of former Vice President Mike Pence, raising questions about the process of packing up high-ranking government officials after they leave office.

Now classified material has been discovered in the possession of Pence, Biden and former President Donald Trump.

Republican Rep. Michael Waltz told Fox News that the transition process “is broken.”

“But I think the difference with Biden here is how far back it goes,” he added.

And Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham told Fox that “when it’s all said and done, maybe we’re overclassifying things, that may be part of the problem.” But she’s counting on me to fix this.

Both Biden and Trump are under investigation by a special prosecutor.

In all, there have been five discoveries of classified material in Biden’s possession: at the Penn-Biden Center, a think tank in Washington, DC; in Biden’s garage at his Wilmington home; a document discovered in his ‘personal library’ in the same house; four more documents found at his home; and then another six found when the Justice Department did another search of the Wilmington residence.

As for Trump, the National Archives had repeatedly requested material from the former president who took boxes of paperwork with him when he left the White House.

All presidents turn the documents over to the federal government at the end of their term. Trump ultimately delivered 15 boxes. The files found classified material in them and, suspecting Trump hadn’t turned everything over, they turned to the Justice Department, which eventually obtained a federal warrant to search the property.

Ultimately, it was discovered that Trump had hundreds of classified documents in his possession.

Biden turned over his documents when his lawyers found them and voluntarily gave the FBI access to his home in Wilmington, Delaware, to search for more. Those agents found six more classified documents Friday after a 13-hour search of the home.
