The problem
“Biden and the Biden Crime Family are corrupt and significant threats to national security,” Stefanik said.
“The fact that federal law enforcement looks the other way when Democrats like Hilary Clinton, Hunter Biden, or Joe Biden break the law while these federal agencies illegally target Republicans is why critical Congressional oversight is so sorely needed to deliver accountability,” she added.

The documents
Special Counsel to the President Richard Sauber traveled to Delaware on Thursday “to facilitate providing the document the President’s personal counsel found on Wednesday to the Justice Department,” according to Just the News.
“While I was transferring it to the DOJ officials who accompanied me, five additional pages with classification markings were discovered among the material with it, for a total of six pages. The DOJ officials with me immediately took possession of them,” he added.

“The President’s lawyers have acted immediately and voluntarily to provide the Penn Biden documents to the Archives and the Wilmington documents to DOJ,” Sauber said in a statement.
“We have now publicly released specific details about the documents identified, how they were identified, and where they were found,” he added.
The latest classified documents are in addition to those found in the president’s garage and the first revealed materials discovered in Biden’s Penn Center office.
The discoveries have become the focus of an investigation by House Republicans, along with a special counsel appointed by Justice Department leader Merrick Garland.
The president will have some explaining to do, especially after the FBI’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home last year to find classified documents. Biden’s classified materials at the Penn Center were also from his time as vice president, meaning they have been loose for a decade with their impact currently unknown as the DOJ investigates the matter further.
