9 Questions The White House Should Answer About Biden’s Classified Document Scandal, But Won’t

On day one of President Joe Biden’s presidency, the White House pledged To “bring transparency and truth back to government.”

Days into Biden’s latest scandal involving multiple discoveries of several classified documents from his years as vice president in his office, home, and garage, it’s more clear than ever that the Biden administration has no intentions of transparency when it comes to this issue.

So far, corporate media coverage of the sensitive materials has largely centered on any details that can be manipulated to distance Biden’s scandal from the classified documents dispute that prompted the Biden FBI to raid former President Donald Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago (no such raid has been executed at any of the locations where Biden stashed documents). While media run cover for Biden — and their own double standard — there are still at least nine important and outstanding questions that the White House should but likely won’t answer about “garage gate.”

1. Why Were the Documents in Biden’s Possession?

The White House claims Biden didn’t know about the documents and was “surprised” They were found in his Washington, D.C., Office at the Penn Biden Center.

“I was briefed about this discovery and surprised to learn that there were any government records that were taken there to that office. But I don’t know what’s in the documents. My lawyers have not suggested I ask what documents they were,” Biden said at the North American Leaders’ Summit in Mexico.

Members of the House Intelligence Committee however reject this claim.

“For those who think that well, the president didn’t realize that he had those in his possession. It just is nonsense. Of course he knew that he had them. They’re so obvious,” Republican Rep. Chris Stewart made the following statements “Face The Nation.”

2. Why Were Biden’s Lawyers Poking Around?

The official reasoning given to justify Biden’s lawyers’ snooping was that the legal team was “closing out” He was visiting the Penn Biden Center in Washington D.C. when he stumbled upon the documents. Reports indicate that the first batch of classified materials were discovered in a manila folder labeled “personal.”

That discovery reportedly prompted the Democrat’s lawyers to extend their search and review, which is how they found other records in Biden’s Delaware garage near his Corvette and in his home.

It’s still unclear why Biden’s personal attorneys were tasked with clearing out his old office in the first place.

3. Why Did Biden’s Lawyers, the DOJ, and the National Archives Keep the Documents Quiet for Months?

Karine Jean-Pierre, White House Press Secretary said Notification was sent to the National Archives and Department of Justice “the minute that his lawyers found those documents,” but the same can’t be said for the public.

Biden’s lawyers found the documents in his Penn office mere days before the 2022 midterm elections. In December, they found more records at his house. News about the discoveries, however, didn’t come until early January.

Why did the Biden administration (DOJ), National Archives and National Archives choose to conceal this information from Americans?
