A bipartisan group of eight congressional leaders have begun receiving classified documents that were found at the homes of Trump, Biden and Pence.
The classified documents were shared last week with the “Gang of Eight” — a bipartisan group of congressional leaders who typically receive briefings on classified intelligence — and comes after months of pressure on the Biden administration from Sens. Mark R. Warner and Marco Rubio , the chair and vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee.The FBI removed a trove of more than 100 classified documents during a search in August of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
Warner and Rubio have been critical of the Justice Department for not giving Congress access to the classified documents earlier, arguing that the department’s refusal was hampering the Senate committee’s responsibility to conduct oversight of the intelligence community.In February, Warner and Rubio met with Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines to discuss the documents, a briefing they afterward described as unsatisfactory.
“While today’s meeting helped shed some light on these issues, it left much to be desired and we will continue to press for full answers to our questions in accordance with our constitutional oversight obligations,” the senators said in aThe Gang of Eight includes House Speaker Kevin McCarthy , House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries , Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer , Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , Rep. Michael R. Turner , Rep. Jim Himes , Warner and Rubio.
