McCarthy criticizes Biden for possessing classified Senate documents.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy Blasts President Biden and DOJ Over Classified Documents

“Has anyone ever asked the current president why would he have a classified document outside of the SCIF from his Senate days? Has he ever been confronted with that question?”

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is not holding back in his criticism of President Joe Biden and the Department of Justice. McCarthy is questioning how it is possible that the president had classified documents from his time as a Senator when those documents should be held in a sensitive compartmented information facility, or SCIF.

Equal Justice or Political Weaponization?

McCarthy is not alone in his concerns. Earlier this week, he criticized the Justice Department for not being transparent in its investigations into both Biden and former President Donald Trump. McCarthy alleged that the department was being “weaponized” to target a leading opponent to the president ahead of the 2024 elections.

“We have a sitting president who possessed classified documents dating back decades to his time as Vice President and as a Senator,” McCarthy tweeted. “Yet he is now weaponizing the federal government to go after his leading political opponent. Where is the equal justice under the law?”

SCIF: The Ultra-Secure Room

A SCIF is an ultrasecure room that does not allow technology. It is used by officials and government contractors to review highly classified documents and information. The fact that classified documents were found outside of the SCIF raises serious questions about the security of sensitive information.

Trump Indicted, Biden Not Charged

Last week, Trump was indicted by a Florida grand jury on charges related to the classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago resort last year. He pleaded not guilty to all 37 charges. Classified documents were also found at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement last November from Biden’s time as vice president to Barack Obama. However, no charges have been brought against the president.

McCarthy is not letting this issue go. He is demanding answers and accountability from the president and the DOJ. Will they provide the transparency and equal justice that McCarthy and many Americans are calling for?
