House Oversight Committee members are working across the aisle on a legislative solution that would address how top officials pack up their papers at the end of their time in office after a spate of high-profile cases involving mishandled classified material drew the attention of lawmakers.
Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said Monday in remarks at the National Press Club that he and Rep. Jamie Raskin had agreed to work on reforms to the way officials take stock of records at the end of an administration.His comments came after former President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden, and former Vice President Mike Pence each acknowledged housing classified information in their personal homes.
Attorneys and aides for Biden have suggested the sensitive material in question, papers dating back to his time as vice president and senator, accidentally ended up mixed in with personal and routine business papers at Biden’s private office and home in Wilmington, Delaware.
