According to Rep. James Comer, the chair of the House Oversight Committee, the Biden Administration has failed to comply with its investigation into the classified documents scandal.
Biden is being accused of mishandling top secret documents after stashes were found at Biden’s think tank offices and in his garage at his Delaware residence.
On Wednesday, Rep. Comer ordered the National Archives to disclose “all documents and communications between or among the White House and the Department of Justice or NARA [National Archives and Records Administration] regarding the documents retrieved from President Biden’s personal office at the Penn Biden Center.”
However, Comer said, The National Archives has not complied and is stonewalling the investigation,
“I have jurisdiction over the national archives. This agency is supposed to do a briefing anytime something like this happens. They have not. Not only have they not given us a briefing, even though we’ve requested one, they have not answered any of our simple requests for information.”
Many are pointing out the ‘hypocrisy’ of Biden who in 2021, promised that his administration would ‘revitalize’ the highest standards of transparency,
“In a democracy, the public deserves as much transparency as possible regarding the work of our national security institutions, consistent with legitimate needs to protect sources and methods and sensitive foreign relationships. The revitalization of our national security and foreign policy workforce requires a recommitment to the highest standards of transparency,” Biden wrote in a letter.
