GOP Launches Investigation Into DOJ Over Biden Classified Docs Scandal (Video)

As chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) has begun an investigation into President Biden’s alleged mishandling of classified documents, according to a Fox News exclusive.

The probe comes a day after Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed special counsel, Robert Hur, a Trump appointee, to look into the matter.

Rep. Jordan is questioning the alleged concealment of information by the Department of Justice (DOJ), Fox notes.

Jordan and Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) wrote in a letter sent to AG Garland, “We are conducting oversight of the Justice Department’s actions with respect to former Vice President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents, including the apparently unauthorized possession of classified material at a Washington, D.C., private office and in the garage of his Wilmington, Delaware, residence.”

“It is unclear when the Department first came to learn about the existence of these documents, and whether it actively concealed this information from the public on the eve of the 2022 elections,” Jordan wrote.

“It is also unclear what interactions, if any, the Department had with President Biden or his representatives about his mishandling of classified material. The Department’s actions here appear to depart from how it acted in similar circumstances.”

Jordan also referenced the FBI’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home last summer, where classified documents were seized, as an example of how the DOJ has proceeded differently in the past.

The lawmakers demanded all documents and communications regarding the appointment of Hur and between the DOJ and the FBI related to the classified materials and stated that their previous requests for information related to the FBI’s raid of President Trump’s residence remain outstanding.
