LIVE: AG Merrick Garland to make statement
WASHINGTON — Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday appointed a special counsel to investigate the presence of documents with classified marking found at President Joe Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, and at an office in Washington.
President Joe Biden responds to the report of a small number of classified documents found at his resident in Wilmington, Del., on Thursday. Richard Sauber, a special counsel to the president, said that after Biden’s personal lawyers found the initial documents, they examined other locations where records might have been shipped after Biden left the vice presidency in 2017.
The appointment of yet another special counsel to investigate the handling of classified documents is a remarkable turn of events, legally and politically, for a Justice Department that has spent months looking into the retention by Donald Trump of more than 300 documents with classification markings found at the former president’s Florida estate.
New House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican, said of the latest news: “I think Congress has to investigate this.”
