Permalinkto be conducted after viewing portions of the classified documents
President Biden stored in the basement of his Delaware home.
I just reviewed a portion of Bidens classified documents that were
taken from his basement by Special Counsel Hur, the Florida Republican
wrote on X.
The material in the documents which date back to Bidens long tenure
in the Senate and his eight years as vice president was still
pertinent to existing threats, according to Waltz.
They were HIGHLY CLASSIFIED and relevant to current national security
threats, the House Intelligence Committee member said.
We need an immediate damage assessment from the Intelligence
Community, he added, calling on federal agencies to review the risks to
the nation that Bidens mishandling of the documents posed. The
documents viewed by Waltz were related to Intelligence Community-derived
information provided to Biden, and lawmakers are still fighting for
access to White House-derived classified memos and documents, a person
familiar told The Post.
In March, Special Counsel Robert Hur announced that he had opted against
leveling criminal charges against the 81-year-old president over the
scandal in part because Biden would come off as an elderly man with
poor memory at trial.
Hurs investigation uncovered that Biden willfully retained and
disclosed classified materials as a private citizen.
These materials included (1) marked classified documents about military
and foreign policy in Afghanistan, and (2) notebooks containing Mr.
Bidens handwritten entries about issues of national security and
foreign policy implicating sensitive intelligence sources and methods,
the special counsels report stated.
Investigators found that Biden stashed documents classified up to the
Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information level in boxes at his
office at the Penn Biden Center think tank in Washington, DC, his
Wilmington, Del., garage and in unlocked drawers and cabinets in the
basement den of the home.
