Isn't it amazing how 'Biden' Walter has actually always been?I love Jeff Dunham, it's amazing he's still being allowed to make some, right on the button, jokes about the Great Demento!
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner has slammed the White House for not being forthright about the contents of classified documents that were found at President Biden’s Delaware home and former Washington, DC, office, as well as at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
“This is where the Biden administration gets an absolute failing grade,” Warner (D-Va.) told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Wednesday. “Their position is outrageous.”
“I’m done with the lack of willingness for the administration to address this,” added Warner, who noted that both Democrats and Republicans were upset that the White House had not complied with requests for information about the documents beginning this past September.
“We’ve seen squat,” Warner told Mitchell. “I’m not a guy that comes on TV and makes threats, but I’m joining with my Republican colleagues and my colleagues, Democrat and Republican, in the House. This position cannot stand.”
Warner went on to suggest the committee could “use other tools” such as subpoenas to obtain the information.
WASHINGTON — President Biden’s former assistant contradicted White House claims that classified documents discovered at Biden’s post-vice presidency DC office this past November were in a “locked closet” — and revealed the White House sought to quietly retrieve the papers, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said Tuesday.
Comer (R-Ky.) added in a statement that Chung, who sat for an interview with the panel, “provided startling information that undermines the Biden White House’s narrative on the matter.”
“Today we learned that when Joe Biden left the vice presidency, boxes containing classified documents, vice presidential records, and other items were stored in three different locations around the Washington, DC, area, including an office near the White House, an office in Chinatown, and eventually the Penn Biden Center,” the lawmaker said.
“At some point, the boxes containing classified materials were transported by personal vehicles to an office location,” Comer went on.
“The boxes were not in a ‘locked closet’ at the Penn Biden Center and remained accessible to Penn Biden employees as well as potentially others with access to the office space. We need to find out who had access to these documents.”
Comer said Chung’s testimony also revealed a previously unknown detail: That then-White House Counsel Dana Remus sought to recover documents from the Penn Biden Center office in May 2022, months before the reported early November discovery of the records by the president’s lawyers.
“This story does not begin in November 2022, as represented by President Biden’s attorney,” Comer said.
“In the coming days, the Oversight Committee will follow up with persons of interest in this investigation.”
The White House has finally granted Congress’ so-called “Gang of Eight” access to classified documents found in recent months at the homes of former President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence, as well as at the Delaware home and former Washington, DC, office of President Biden.
The documents — which were either seized by the FBI or handed over voluntarily in the past seven months — were made available following repeated criticism from Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Vice Chairman Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), according to Punchbowl News.
Warner blasted the White House last month for not disclosing the contents of papers taken from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate and Biden’s residence and office — even warning that the committee could “use other tools” such as a congressional subpoena to find out the information.
“The Biden administration gets an absolute failing grade,” Warner told MSNBC at the time “We’ve seen squat … I’m not a guy that comes on TV and makes threats, but I’m joining with my Republican colleagues and my colleagues, Democrat and Republican, in the House. This position cannot stand.”
Police are urgently investigating after a document containing top secret details on President Joe Biden's visit to Northern Ireland was found by a member of the public on a Belfast street.
Dozens of officers could have been put at risk after the discovery of the document, which is said to have included a detailed itinerary of the US President's trip and the $8.7 million security operation surrounding it.
While no personal details relating to the President or his dignitaries were disclosed in the Police Service of Northern Ireland paper, it reportedly included the names of all PSNI officers involved today's operation.
It also included the phone numbers and addresses of top PSNI officers, BBC Radio Ulster's Nolan Show reported.
WASHINGTON — House Oversight Committee Democrats leaked a passage Wednesday from closed-door testimony by Kathy Chung — a former aide to President Biden who helped pack up his vice presidential office — suggesting she was responsible for mishandling classified documents.
Republicans have expressed concern for months that Democrats would throw Chung under the bus to get Biden out of legal trouble — as special counsel Robert Hur reviews whether the president or anyone in his orbit broke the law.
Chung told the House panel that she had a security clearance at the time, but assumed classified documents weren’t present before dispatching about 13 boxes to the Penn Biden Center, CNN reported Wednesday morning ahead of a memo from committee Democrats that contained the same excerpt.
The partial transcript shows Oversight Committee investigators asking Chung to describe how documents from Biden’s vice presidential office were packaged.
“They were in a file folder first before they went in a box, correct?” a questioner asked Chung.
Chung replied, “Well, the file folder was in the drawer, and we gathered up the file folders and put in a box.”
“And at that time when you took the file folders, there were documents in the file folders?” the questioner followed up.
“Yes,” Chung said.
“Did you go through the file folders and the documents at that point?” the committee representative pressed.
“No,” Chung said.
The memo released Wednesday by the committee’s top Democrat, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), said “[Chung] and others worked quickly to pack up the office and did not review individual documents” and added Chung “confirmed that no one in the Biden family instructed her on what to pack, including classified documents, or was involved in the packing process.”
Conservative commentators have expressed concern that Chung would become the scapegoat for Biden’s alleged mishandling of classified documents.
