Shreveport-area Congressman Mike Johnson says new U.S. House leadership will actively seek answers as to why President Joe Biden had classified federal documents stashed at his private office and his home. Johnson says, as chairman of the House Judiciary’s Sub-Committee on Constitutional matters, he and fellow lawmakers are demanding answers from the Department of Justice…
“We issued a joint letter to the Attorney General, Merritt Garland himself. We want to know – among other things – what interaction the Department had with President Biden or his White House representative about the mishandling of these classified documents.”
Last week, it was revealed that top secret documents were found at Joe Biden’s private office at the Penn-Biden Center. Those documents were from his time as Vice-President. More recently, more classified documents were found at Biden’s two Delaware homes. Johnson says the timeline of the discoveries is also worrisome…
“From what we know now, they found these documents – or at least the first tranche of them – November 2nd of 2022. They concealed it until just several days ago…and we’re very, very interested to know why.”
Johnson says the full weight of the FBI and Justice Department came down of former President Trump for the same thing, but in Biden’s case, there were no raids of his home broadcast on television. He feels a double standard is obviously at play. Johnson says the public has the right to know if the President broke federal law…
“These are all directly related to the interests of the American People. It’s time-sensitive and we hope the courts will force their compliance if they do not comply automatically.”
