At least two Senate Democrats have joined Republicans in calling for a full investigation into President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents after multiple batches were found in his think tank office and private Delaware residence.
Sens. Joe Manchin and Tim Kaine , who are both up for reelection next year, have openly called for an investigation into the documents, noting the discoveries raise serious questions about national security. The two join calls from several congressional Republicans who have pressed for an inquiry into the matter."The reports about President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents are extremely irresponsible and disturbing,” Manchin told Fox News on Friday.
"This news raises serious questions, and the appointment of an unbiased special prosecutor to investigate the matter is the right step," Kaine told the outlet. "We are conducting oversight of the Justice Department’s actions with respect to former Vice President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents, including the apparently unauthorized possession of classified material at a Washington, D.C., private office and in the garage of his Wilmington, Delaware, residence," Committee Chairman Jim Jordan said in a statement.
Biden has been under intense scrutiny after it was reported earlier this month that multiple sets of classified documents were found at his private office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement and his personal residence in Wilmington, Delaware. All of the documents that were found were stored away when Biden was vice president.
