Rep. Jim_Jordan opens investigation into AG Merrick Garland over President JoeBiden's classified docs scandal
Rep. Jim Jordan , the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, fired off a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday, demanding all documents and communications between the DOJ, the FBI, and the Executive Office of the President about Biden’s apparent mishandling of classified information following his time as vice president during the Obama administration.The Republican letter, co-signed by another top GOP member of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep.
Garland had appointed Kosovo war crimes prosecutor Jack Smith late last year to take over the Justice Department’s investigation of classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago. The Biden attorney general then selected Hur to be special counsel in the Biden saga on Thursday. “It is unclear when the Department first came to learn about the existence of these documents, and whether it actively concealed this information from the public on the eve of the 2022 elections," the GOP letter to Garland said."It is also unclear what interactions, if any, the Department had with President Biden or his representatives about his mishandling of classified material. The Department’s actions here appear to depart from how it acted in similar circumstances.
Jordan and Johnson also told the Justice Department to provide all of the documents and communications related to the storage of the classified records at Biden’s office and his home, as well as all records tied to the discovery of the documents with classified markings. The FBI began its assessment of whether the classified records had been mishandled on Nov. 9, Garland said, and on Nov. 14, Garland assigned Lausch to conduct an initial investigation into the matter to help the attorney general decide whether to appoint a special counsel.
