The president's opponents say they need to know who has access to him as 'a clear matter of national security'.
Congressional Republicans are demanding to see visitor logs for US President Joe Biden's homes, arguing that the discovery of classified files at one of his residences is a national security risk.
Mr Biden kept an office at the think tank after he left the White House in 2017 until he launched his presidential campaign in 2019.On Thursday, US Attorney General Merrick Garland revealed in a news conference that the second cache had been found on 20 December at Mr Biden's private home in Wilmington, Delaware.
"He knowingly knew [sic] this happened going into [the] election, going into interviews. This is what makes America not trust their government," Mr McCarthy said on Thursday.Other Republicans on Thursday demanded the president release a log of all the people who had visited Mr Biden's Delaware home. Mr Biden's predecessor, Donald Trump, is also under investigation by the justice department after more than 300 classified files - including some marked with Secret and Top Secret designations - were discovered by FBI agents executing a search warrant last year at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
