At least two Senate Democrats have announced they are joining Republicans in the call for a full investigation against Biden’s mishandling of top-secret documents.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) are raising questions regarding national security amid the Biden document debacle.
>>“The reports about President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents are extremely irresponsible and disturbing,” Manchin said while speaking on Fox News. “These allegations should be investigated fully.”
Kaine reiterated the need for Biden to be probed, while also praising the DOJ’s decision to allow a special counsel to investigate.
Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that he appointed special counsel Robert Hur to look into the matter.
>>"This news raises serious questions, and the appointment of an unbiased special prosecutor to investigate the matter is the right step," Kaine said, joining Manchin.
Additionally, Democrat Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif) said that she “definitely” had questions that the Biden White House is responsible for answering.
>>“Classified documents belong in classified settings, and I think you heard me say oversight is not a partisan thing. Good oversight means you’re willing to hold any rule breaker to account,” Porter said, adding “we should be asking for answers in a respectful way, and we should be expecting to get honest ones.”
