House Republican Pounces Amid Biden Classified Docs Report

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) demanded answers on CNN after it was reported that classified documents from President Joe Biden’s time as vice president were found in one of his private offices.

On Monday, CNN reported roughly a dozen “highly sensitive” documents were found in Biden’s office at the University of Pennsylvania. Attorneys for Biden found them in November and informed the National Archives, CNN senior justice correspondent Evan Perez reported.

The Florida Republican said:

My reaction is pretty simple. I’m wondering why the vice president of the United States had classified documents outside of the hands of the intelligence community. Listen, it’s been pretty clear that presidents do have some classified documents, but the difference between a president and everybody else is the president has the ability to declassify information.

The vice president has no ability to declassify information. So number one, what was he doing with classified information in his possession? Number two, why did it take six years? I want to stress this for the American people. Joe Biden left the vice presidency in 2017.
