Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) admitted she was glad to see President Joe Biden being investigated for allegedly mismanaging classified documents.
“I’m glad that there is a special prosecutor that’s been appointed to investigate this," Omar said Saturday on MSNBC’s Symone."Because any time there is a deviance in regard to security protocols, that should be taken serious, it should be investigated."The show's host, Symone Sanders-Townsend, notably worked for Biden as a senior strategist and was formerly Vice President Kamala Harris's chief spokesperson. Sanders-Townsend asked Omar to elaborate on her answer.
“What I find interesting is that Republicans who have defended [former President Donald] Trump after he literally stole classified documents, refused to turn them over, lied about having them, made up some story about how he declassified them, had to have his house raided in order for those documents to be found, are now only interested in investigating Biden, who has cooperated, whose own staff and former staff have themselves turned these documents in,” Omar went on to say.
Chief Judge Beryl Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled last week that Trump must provide the names of the private investigators who he hired to search the former president's residences for any remaining classified materials. Omar, a three-term representative, is facing the possibility of being kicked off the House Foreign Affairs Committee, a promise made by Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy . Omar has served on the committee as the first African in history since she won her seat in 2019.The classified documents from Biden's vice presidency were discovered at a Biden-aligned think tank in Washington, D.C., and in his Wilmington residence.
