National Archives Skips Deadline to Disclose Biden Classified Docs

The National Archives has missed the House Oversight Committee’s deadline to comply with requested documents related to President Joe Biden’s classified document scandal, according to the committee’s spokesperson.

On January 10, the committee demanded the National Archives hand over records detailing the interactions between Biden’s attorneys and the Justice Department on or before January 24.

“The National Archives has not produced the requested documents to the Committee at this time,” Tuesday’s statement was made by the spokesperson for the committee. “Chairman Comer’s request still stands and anticipates moving forward with a transcribed interview with NARA’s general counsel soon.”

At least three establishment reports have recounted that Biden’s personal attorneys agreed to hide the scandal from the American people and likely did not plan to disclose the scandal until it was leaked on January 9, months after the initial trove was found by Biden’s personal attorney on November 2.

It’s unclear why Biden’s attorneys were initially looking for his illegally stashed documents at the Biden Penn Center. The search was not authorized by the White House or the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Before the scandal became public, the White House and DOJ were both aware of it. According to The New York TimesAccording to some reports, White House officials are suspicious about how Biden’s classified document scandal was leaked to the press.

Attorney General Merrick Garland claimed Despite the attempts to conceal the scandal, his department didn’t apply a double standard in justice Monday.

“We do not have different rules for Democrats or Republicans, different rules for the powerful or the powerless, different rules for the rich and for the poor, we apply the facts, and the law in each case in a neutral, non-partisan manner,” Garland claimed Monday.
