.LeaderMcConnell urges Justice Department to probe realDonaldTrump and JoeBiden classified document cases equally
The Senate GOP leader also said he agreed with Attorney General Merrick Garland's decision to appoint special counsels in both cases while speaking with Terry Meiners on NewsRadio 840 WHAS in Kentucky.“I think the important thing with regard to documents is that both these guys ought to be treated exactly the same way — exactly the same way. And so I think the attorney general probably did the right thing by having two special counsels,” McConnell said.
"Look, the House, we have a constitutional responsibility to oversee the Justice Department, and that also means overseeing special counsels," McCarthy said to reporters Tuesday. “So we will look into both situations.”The Trump classified documents case is being probed by special counsel Jack Smith, and the Biden classified documents investigation is being handled by special counsel Robert Hur.
