Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Mark Warner, D-Va., is calling for his committee to receive a briefing on the classified documents discovered in an office used by President Joe Biden. Warner said in a statement Tuesday that the committee should be briefed on the documents as part of its constitutional oversight obligations.
The documents were discovered in a Washington, DC, office used by Biden after his time as vice president. Warner suggested that the case involving Biden is “about finding documents with markings, and turning them over,” which he suggested is nothing in comparison to what federal officials found at former President Donald Trump’s Florida home.
The circumstances of the classified documents apparently kept by the two men appear to be so different as to defy comparison, according to CNN’s Stephen Collinson. However, it is not a good look for Biden’s lawyers to have discovered any documents with classified markings.
The Senate Intelligence Committee is tasked with protecting the nation’s most important national security secrets. Warner said the committee should be briefed on what happened both at Mar-a-Lago and at the Biden office.
The Biden administration has not yet commented on the matter.
