Special Counsel finds five more classified documents at Biden’s Delaware home
The classified documents that have been found in a few locations belonging to President Joe Biden from when he served in the Obama administration as Vice President has yet another twist. Special Counsel Richard Sauber said over the weekend that he personally found five new classified documents.
“Because I have a security clearance, I went to Wilmington Thursday evening to facilitate providing the document the President’s personal counsel found on Wednesday to the Justice Department,” Sauber said.
“While I was transferring it to the DOJ officials who accompanied me, five additional pages with classification markings were discovered among the material with it, for a total of six pages. The DOJ officials with me immediately took possession of them.”
The first set of classified documents were found November 2, 2022 by Biden’s own lawyers at his office at the Penn Biden Center. The think tank’s office served as Biden’s private office from 2017 to 2019. Not only was the office his after he served as Vice President, meaning there is no business for classified documents to have ever been there, but the discovery of the documents was never publicly released until after the 2022 midterm elections. How convenient for Democrats.
Once discovery of the classified documents came to light, the White House Counsel’s office then searched Biden’s homes in Delaware this past week during which “a small number of additional Obama-Biden administration records with classified markings.” Most of the documents were found in a storage space in Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware garage, the lawyers noted.
We have now publicly released specific details about the documents identified, how they were identified, and where they were found,” Sauber said. “The appointment of the special counsel in this matter this week means we will now refer specific questions to the special counsel’s office moving forward. As I said Thursday, the White House will cooperate with the newly appointed special counsel.”
While White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has claimed the White House has been “transparent” on the matter, but when asked when Biden would speak about the issue, Jean-Pierre replied that she doesn’t have a “magic wand.”
In a clever reaction to President Joe Biden pardoning his son, Hunter, fact-checkers on Elon Musk’s X are flagging Biden’s old post stating “no one is above the law.” Biden’s old post, shared in May, was written as an attack on now-President-elect Donald Trump, but the tables have turned on Biden as he is being heavily criticized for his hypocrisy in placing his son “above the law.”
The New York Post reports:
“It now has a community warning readers: ‘President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, for crimes covering nearly 11 years of ‘offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024.”
After that, Musk added his own proposed note calling out the president, writing: “By pardoning his son Hunter, not merely for a single crime, but for actual or potential crimes he may or may not have created over an eleven-year period, Joe Biden has made clear that some people are, in fact, above the law.”
According to the New York Post, “Hunter Biden, 54, pleaded guilty in September to nine counts tied to bilking Americans of $.1.4 million in taxes and was found guilty of three federal gun charges in June after he was charged with possession of a firearm while addicted to illegal drugs.”
Biden is not only being criticized for pardoning his Hunter, but for going back on his vow that he would not pardon his son. Biden argued in his defense that Hunter was “singled out only because he is my son,” The Post reports. Biden is hitting back saying that critics are only trying to break Hunter’s sobriety.
Musk shared a screenshot on X of his own fact-check with a statement saying “Community Notes slays.” Community Notes is a feature on X that allows users to flag false or misleading content, according to The Post, leaving the fact-checking up to its users rather than staffers.
