Joe Biden gushed over the latest revelation that classified documents were found in the garage of his Wilmington home: “Next to your Corvette? What do you think?”

After the White House revealed classified material kept in the garage of Joe Biden’s Wilmington residence, reporters were eager for a statement from the president after he made comments about the economy.

Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked, “Secret material next to your Corvette. What do you think?

“God willing, I’ll get a chance to talk about all of this soon, but like I said earlier this week — and by the way, my Corvette is in a locked garage, so it’s not like it’s out. ” street… People know that I take secret documents and materials seriously. I also said we are cooperating fully with the Department of Justice review.”

Biden then read a statement that broadly echoed the White House statement made earlier in the day by Richard Sauber, special adviser to the president.

Sauber said that following the discovery of government documents at the Penn Biden Center in November, the president’s lawyers conducted a search for other locations where files from Biden’s vice presidency may have been sent during the 2017 Obama-Biden transition -administration documents with secret marks. . All but one of these documents were found in the storage unit in the President’s motor home in Wilmington. A one-page document was discovered among stored material in an adjacent room. No documents were found at the Rehoboth Beach residence.”

Material at Mar-a-Lago last year. Some Republicans on Capitol Hill have called in a special counsel to investigate the Biden case, just as a special counsel is overseeing the Trump investigation. The latter case has the added element of possible obstruction, as the National Archives struggled to retrieve the material, culminating in an FBI raid on Trump’s home in August.

But Biden also criticized Trump for his handling of classified material, as CNN noted in its extended focus on the story earlier this week. On Thursday, just before Biden spoke, the network shared an image of unanswered questions about the discovery of classified documents in Biden’s files, including why the initial discovery in November was revealed so recently. This question remains unanswered.
