Justice Department Doesn’t Trust Biden’s Lawyers

“President Biden’s lawyers told the Justice Department in November that they had no reason to believe that copies of official records from his vice presidency had ended up anywhere beyond a think tank in Washington, where several classified documents had been found that month,” the New York Times reports.

“That assertion, the people said, was based on interviews with former officials who had been involved in the process of packing and shipping such material.”

Marcy Wheeler: “There are still key parts of Biden’s story that aren’t being explained, most importantly whether the documents discovered this month inside Biden’s house were discovered in storage or in an actively-used office. If DOJ knows that the difference between the two would be critical information for the public to know, then this story would only further degrade confidence in Biden’s lawyer on the part of DOJ.
