US media: Even more secret documents found about Joe Biden How Soledar is really – that’s what the Ukrainian forces say on the ground

They were discovered by Biden employees looking for a second location, several US media outlets reported Wednesday evening (local time), citing unnamed sources. There was initially no confirmation from the White House.

There were still many questions about the new find, including the contents of the documents and the location and time. According to broadcaster NBC, these are again classified documents. Only on Monday did it become known that Biden had kept secret documents from his time as US Vice President Barack Obama in his private offices at the Penn Biden Center in the capital Washington. Biden used the property after he left the vice president’s office in 2017 until about 2020, the White House said.

These documents were immediately transferred to the National Archives. The documents are said to be at least 10 classified documents, some of which are first class classified. Biden reacted with surprise to the discovery made public on Monday. He does not know who brought the documents there or what they contain. At the same time, the Democrat pledged “full cooperation” with the investigations. The situation is politically extremely sensitive for Biden, because his predecessor Donald Trump caused a scandal with a similar case in the summer. Biden then criticized Trump.

The fact that even more documents have probably been found strengthens the Republicans in their attacks on Biden. Trump shared reports of the new find on the Truth Social network he co-founded. Republican leader Elise Stefanik tweeted Wednesday: “We will demand answers, stop politicizing the corrupt FBI and hold the Justice Department and the Biden crime family accountable.”

In the House of Representatives, the Republicans want to push Biden along with investigations with their regained majority. You now have the authority to summon people or request documents. Several committees will investigate how Biden handled the withdrawal from Afghanistan. The business relationships of Biden’s son Hunter and the secret documents that have now surfaced are also discussed.

“The FBI searched former President Trump’s house (…) There is a special investigator investigating. We now have two different places where Joe Biden had classified documents, but nothing happened,” the Republican chairman of the House of Representatives said. Major Committee on Oversight and Reform, James Comer, Wednesday evening (local time) to ABC Double standards are being applied in dealing with Biden and Trump.

After the initial find in November, Biden employees searched other locations for government documents, broadcaster CNN reported on the recent find. The second tranche was found. It was unclear whether other documents were also discovered.

The White House evaded critical questions about the first find Wednesday, only citing a statement Monday. Spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre declined to comment on why the White House had not made the find public much sooner. The documents were discovered in November, shortly before the midterm elections – the media finally made this public.

When he left the White House, Trump extensively took government documents to his private Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, including a number of top secret documents. The Federal Police FBI searched the Florida property in August and seized several classified documents.

Attorney General Merrick Garland, appointed by Biden, has appointed a special investigator to find out if Trump may have committed a criminal offense. In the United States, government records are generally required to be archived and preserved for posterity. Unlike Biden, Trump’s case was preceded by a dispute with the National Archives. It tried unsuccessfully for months to get papers from Trump’s term in office. (sda/dpa)
