Republican Party seeks information on visitors in Biden classified documents case

Washington. The Republican Party in the US demanded on Sunday that the White House should release all information related to the confidential documents found during searches at President Joe Biden’s home and his former office. The Republican Party, which recently won a majority in the House of Representatives, made the demand after more classified documents were found at President Biden’s residence in Delaware. “We have a lot of questions,” said Republican Congressman James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee in the House of Representatives. Comer said he wanted to see all the documents. He also wants to see the list of visitors to the President’s home in Wilmington, Delaware through January 20, 2021. He said that the purpose of this is only to know who had access to these confidential documents and how these records got there.

The White House said on Saturday that it found five additional pages of classified documents at Biden’s home on Thursday and appointed a special counsel to review the matter the same day. In a letter to White House chief of staff Ron Klein on Sunday, Comer criticized the search by Biden’s representative while the Justice Department opened an investigation into the matter. He said that “Biden’s misuse of these classified documents raises the issue of whether he (Biden) has compromised national security.” Comer demanded that the White House visitor log by the end of the month Provide all relevant information including Comer, who appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” program, described Biden’s home as a “crime scene”.

However, he also admitted that it was not clear whether the law was violated or not. “My concern is that hours after the special counsel was appointed, the President’s personal attorney is still out there with no security clearance and still roaming around the President’s residence,” Comer said. looking for things. It’s definitely a crime scene.” US Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said on Sunday that the agency provides security at the president’s private residence, but does not maintain visitor logs.

“We cannot independently keep our visitor log because this is a private residence,” Guglielmi said, adding that the agency checks visitors to the president’s property but does not keep records of those checks. The White House confirmed that since becoming president, Biden has not independently kept records of who has visited his residence. White House spokesman Ian Sams said, “Like every president in decades of modern history, his private residence is personal.”
