The new Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, is slamming the way the investigation into Joe Biden’s classified document scandal is being handled.
Classified documents were discovered stashed at separate offices at the Penn Biden Center and in Joe Biden’s garage at his Delaware residence.
McCarthy said that investigators and the media are not handling Biden’s scandal the same way they approached the situation with President Donald Trump,
“Why do you raid President Trump?” the speaker said, pointing out that the documents in Florida were padlocked away while Biden’s were behind “a locked garage door that opens and closes by the push of a button.”
McCarthy said a congressional committee has been created to investigate the weaponization of the DOJ and FBI,
“We will get to the bottom of this no matter how hard we have to fight.”
Meanwhile, Congressman Jim Jordan, whose committee is investigating Biden and the Department of Justice’s handling of the case, accused the White House of not being transparent about the classified documents,
“They find these documents on Nov. 2 and we, the American people, don’t learn about it until Jan. 9, and that’s from a news report. When the White House goes public and tells us about it, the only thing they talk about is the first batch, the ones found at the Penn Biden Center. They don’t tell us about the second batch that was found in the garage, in the adjacent room, even though they knew about it at the time.”
The Ohio Republican goes on to say,
“[Hillary] Clinton mishandles classified information and Biden mishandles classified information and they get treated a certain way and then, of course, President Trump gets his home raided 91 days before this midterm election. And, why is it always the left, the Democrats, they get to decide, they get to go find the information and hand it over to the government?”
Jordan took aim at the FBI and DOJ,
“Now you’ve got the special counsel investigating President Trump and President Biden probably impacting the 2024 race. Maybe the FBI should just stay out of things and let the American people decide who we want representing us in Congress and who we want as commander in chief and not weigh in on all these various elections.”
