Dems concerned over handling of Biden documents

[ad_1]

Senate Democrats returned on Monday after a long recess — and after the Justice Department found additional classified documents during a 13-hour search of Biden’s home in Wilmington, Del. The discovery of those documents, on top of classified materials found in November and December, has created a political headache after Democrats sought to hammer Trump for his handling of classified material.
The issue is also an unwelcome one for the party, as Democrats have sought to focus their attention on House Republicans’ chaotic start to the 118th Congress. What’s more, classified documents could animate the presidential campaign if Biden runs for a second term, as is expected.
“I hope they found them all,” Durbin said of the Biden administration’s hunt for more documents. As for the president, Durbin observed: “He has done well by cooperating every step of the way, unlike Trump, but he still has documents that I don’t understand why he’d have in his personal possession.”
When asked about the criticism from Democratic senators, White House spokesperson Ian Sams told reporters on Monday that Durbin had also emphasized that Biden was “handling this in the right way” and that “full cooperation is the right way that this should be handled.”
It’s also not a full-on rebellion. Democrats reject comparisons with Trump, who is under investigation for retaining highly sensitive national security documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida — and for allegedly obstructing investigators seeking to recover them. They argue that unlike Trump, Biden’s legal team turned over the documents upon their discovery and invited the Justice Department to search for more.
Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.), however, said the discovery of the Biden documents “neutralizes the issue” politically.
“They’re trying to attack former President Trump. Biden was chair of the Foreign Relations Committee” when he was in the Senate, Thune said. “He should have known better. And they were trying to claim the high ground on this issue when the shoe was on the other foot. And I think it’s a very tough issue for them to have to navigate right now.”
Other Democratic senators defended Biden and are still highlighting a contrast with Trump. Retiring Sen. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, the No. 3 Democratic leader, said Biden was “doing exactly the right thing,” adding: “I wish former President Trump had done that rather than arguing they were his papers.”

Still, not every Democrat wants to make the comparison with Trump. Kelly suggested that the distinction between Biden and Trump’s situations was “up to somebody who actually does an investigation.”
And he said it was an issue he was paying close attention to: “I spent 25 years in the United States Navy. I take this stuff very seriously, personally. … Folks, you know, shouldn’t be taking classified documents out of federal government buildings and out of classified settings.”
Many Democrats are not eager to opine on the Biden documents, and several said they would withhold judgment and wait until the results of special counsel Robert Hur’s investigation. (The Justice Department previously appointed a different special counsel to investigate Trump’s handling of classified documents.)
“You have to get the answers to the questions before you reach a judgment,” said Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), who is running for reelection in 2024. “If it’s a handful of documents and they’re not very serious, and maybe they were once classified but they’re not anymore, and there’s a good explanation for why he had them — but you don’t know the answer to those questions.”
Meanwhile, Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), who is also up for reelection in a purple state, said Biden was “cooperating thoroughly and proactively.”
Some Democratic committee chairs, while declining to criticize Biden, have said they want to look at the handling of classified documents broadly. Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Mark Warner (D-Va.) earlier this month called for a briefing related to both the Biden and Trump documents. He told reporters on Monday that he hoped for an update soon.
Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), chair of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said his panel was also looking broadly at the retention of records. Peters, who also runs Democrats’ campaign arm, said he wanted to deal with the issue “for presidencies in general. And we’re going to try to do that in a nonpoliticized way.”

Democrats ding Biden on documents even as they push back against GOP

[ad_1]

Another Democrat, Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, said he is concerned about the number of documents officials keep finding at Biden’s home.
“Well, I’m concerned; there’s a standard we follow when it comes to members of Congress and classified information,” the Illinois Democrat said. “To think that any of them ended up in boxes in storage one place or the other is just unacceptable.”
But Durbin’s statement was also in line with what other Democrats have said — arguing that no matter how careless or problematic Biden’s handling of classified documents has been, it’s still better than the way former President Donald Trump handled the same type of material after leaving office.
“Joe Biden has shown total cooperation in this effort. That’s a sharp contrast to President Trump,” Durbin said.
Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) downplayed concerns about Biden’s handling of classified documents, adding: “I don’t think this is an issue that is keeping Americans up at night.”
Speaking on ABC’s “This Week,” Coons said that concern over the discovery of additional classified documents at Biden’s residence in Delaware is, more than anything else, distracting the nation from more important issues. Coons noted the search was “consensual,” contrasting it with how Trump pushed back on those seeking to recover classified materials and how Trump has continued to argue that he had the right to possess those documents at his home in Mar-a-Lago, Fla.
Biden’s attorneys discovered a series of classified documents on multiple occasions from November 2022 to January 2023. On Saturday, it was announced that six additional documents marked as classified were found at Biden’s Delaware home after the Justice Department searched for nearly 13 hours.
In a new ABC News/Ipsos poll released Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” 34 percent of Americans said they think Biden handled classified documents appropriately after he left office as vice president, compared with 64 percent of Americans who think he acted inappropriately.

Those numbers were still better than those for Trump; 77 percent of those polled said they thought the former president acted inappropriately. But the polling was conducted before the announcement of more documents being discovered in Biden’s possession.
Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), speaking on Fox’s “Fox News Sunday,” echoed Coons’ sentiments, saying that there’s a “stark comparison to the other investigation of classified documents with former President Trump.”
“The White House needs to cooperate with the Justice Department,” Gottheimer said. “That’s what they’ve been doing for months. I think as long as the White House does what it should do, which is cooperate fully so we can get to the bottom of this, there’s the appropriate process.”
In November, lawyers to the president discovered Obama administration documents in a Biden-associated Washington think tank. Days later, Biden’s legal team found additional documents in Biden’s residence in Wilmington, Del., one of Biden’s lawyers announced.
Biden aides found five additional documents in this president’s Delaware home, the White House announced Jan. 14. They were then turned over to the Justice Department, which had appointed a special counsel to investigate the matter.
On Sunday, Republicans were less forgiving than Democrats on the matter.
Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) called Biden a “serial classified-document hoarder” while insisting that the investigation looks more like a cover-up.
“That is why the special counsel’s work is going to be really important, because I can think of no reason why the President should have taken home, as a senator or as vice president, any classified documents that clearly have no protection. They’re available and open to anybody,” Turner said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
Speaking after Coons, Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) wondered why any public official was taking any classified material home and said the fallout could still end up being much larger than anticipated now.
“Watergate started as a very small burglary, and it led to the president of the United States resigning,” said the new chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “So, I don’t know what’s there until we see the documents — if there are national security documents relating to foreign nations adversaries, particularly China.”
On Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” Rep. James Comer, the new chair of House Oversight Committee, also expressed concern that the situation was worse than originally portrayed.
“I took the president at his word,” the Kentucky Republican told host Maria Bartiromo, “when the first set of documents were found at the Biden Center for Diplomacy that he had just inadvertently misplaced those documents. But now this has gone from simply being irresponsible to downright scary.”

DOJ search of Biden’s Delaware home results in more seized documents

[ad_1]
Bauer said the paperwork was from Biden’s time in the Senate and as vice president. Justice Department officials also took handwritten notes from the vice presidential years, he said.
“DOJ had full access to the president’s home, including personally handwritten notes, files, papers, binders, memorabilia, to-do lists, schedules, and reminders going back decades,” he said.
Bauer added that Justice Department officials requested that the search not be made public in advance, in accordance with its standard procedures, and that the president’s legal team agreed to cooperate.
“The President’s lawyers and White House Counsel’s Office will continue to cooperate with DOJ and the Special Counsel to help ensure this process is conducted swiftly and efficiently,” Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president, said in a separate statement Saturday evening.
Joseph Fitzpatrick, a spokesperson for the U.S attorney originally tapped to oversee matters connected to the records, said “the FBI executed a planned, consensual search of the President’s residence in Wilmington, Delaware.”
In an interview on MSNBC Saturday evening, Ian Sams, a spokesperson for the White House counsel’s office, confirmed the search was “consensual and cooperative” and said no warrant was involved.
Sams said Biden told aides to “offer up DOJ access to the house,” leading to Friday’s search. “He [has] proactively offered access to these homes to the Department of Justice to conduct a thorough search,” he said.
Sams said he could not speak “to the underlying content” of any of the documents taken from Biden’s home.

The search was part of a special counsel investigation into the president’s handling of classified materials found in November at his office in Washington and in December and January at his home in Wilmington. The sporadic revelations about the documents over the past several weeks have helped keep the story in the headlines.
And that steady drip of additional information that has widened the scope of the probe into Biden’s handling of classified material from his time as vice president has raised fresh frustration among some Democrats.
Specifically, they’ve questioned why the search wasn’t conducted sooner and more thoroughly, especially after Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump, became enmeshed in a similar inquiry about documents kept at his private Mar-a-Lago club and residence in Florida. The White House’s communications strategy around the matter has also come under harsh scrutiny.
The president and first lady Jill Biden were not present for the search. Both are spending the weekend at their home in Rehoboth Beach, Del.
Asked Friday whether their travel was related to the probe into classified material, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said she would “continue to be prudent and consistent and respect the Department of Justice process.”
“As it relates to his travel, as you know, he often travels to Delaware on the weekends. I just don’t have anything else to share,” Jean-Pierre said.
Attorney General Merrick Garland recently appointed former federal prosecutor Robert Hur as a special counsel to investigate any potential wrongdoing surrounding the Biden documents. Garland previously assigned John Lausch, the U.S. Attorney for Chicago, to lead the probe.

Biden, Trump and the classified documents – podcast

[ad_1]
American presidents face many era-defining challenges: wars, pandemics, recessions. But one that gets less attention seems to keep haunting them: paperwork.
Last November, at Joe Biden’s thinktank in Washington DC, aides to the US president were packing up and they found something that shouldn’t have been there: a stash of classified documents.
As David Smith tells Michael Safi, that was not the end of the matter. A further search of Biden’s property turned up more secret documents that needed to be handed over to the national archives. It’s left Biden with a legal headache, but perhaps more pressing: a political one.
The revelations have been leapt upon by supporters of Donald Trump who wasted no time in calling for Biden to face the same scrutiny as the former president who saw his own home raided by the FBI after ignoring demands to hand over documents he had taken without authorisation.

Biden: “I have no regrets” about how documents were handled

[ad_1]

Biden also addressed the news media’s ongoing interest in the documents, as he answered a reporter’s question following a survey of a community affected by recent extreme weather in California.
“Quite frankly, what bugs me is that we have a serious problem here we’re talking about … and the American people don’t quite understand why you don’t ask me questions about that,” Biden said, referring to his remarks on the storm and climate.
Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed former U.S. Attorney Robert Hur last week as special counsel to investigate the storage of the documents.
Members of both parties have decried what they call a double standard on the media reaction and legal handling of the document discovery, as classified documents were also found in an August FBI search of former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate.
The situations have notable differences: Biden has had fewer sensitive documents discovered than his predecessor, and unlike Trump, he appears to have cooperated with authorities in turning them over.
