Biden classified document controversy intensifies: Waltz calls for transparency ahead of ’24 vote as DOJ urged to release evidence on Biden’s handling

Representative Mike Waltz (R-FL) expressed shock at how highly classified the materials found in President Joe Biden’s Delaware home were. He claimed that these documents went beyond Cold War era information and contained recent, relevant details with numerous code words even he couldn’t understand due to his 30 years of clearance. Waltz also highlighted concerns over Hunter Biden’s connections from countries such as Kazakhstan, Russia, China and the potential accessibility of sensitive data at a center where they were reportedly kept in storage closets. He demanded answers regarding who had been granted entry into these locations while questioning whether President Biden was following proper protocol for handling classified materials under the Presidential Records Act. While special counsel Robert Hur’s report from earlier this year suggests that legal charges may not apply due to presidential prerogatives being viewed as a mitigating factor, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) has called on the Department of Justice to release evidence regarding Biden’s handling of these documents before the 2024 election so voters can make informed decisions at the ballot box.
