House Republicans are calling for the White House to provide information related to searches that have uncovered classified documents at President Joe Biden’s home and former office.
Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the head of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, sent a letter to White House chief of staff Ron Klain on Sunday expressing concern that documents bearing classification markings dating from Mr. Biden’s time as vice president were “improperly stored” at his Wilmington residence.
Comer is requesting all documents and communications related to the searches by the Biden team, as well as visitor logs of the president’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, from Jan. 20, 2021, to present. He said the aim is to determine who might have had access to classified material and how the records got there.
The discovery of the classified documents raises questions about the security of the president’s home and the handling of sensitive information. Comer said it is “troubling” that the documents were found and that the White House must provide a full accounting of the situation.
The White House has yet to respond to Comer’s request, but the congressman is urging the administration to provide the information as soon as possible. He said the American people deserve to know how their government is handling classified information.
