(Congressional Agenda) – As House Republicans continue their probe into classified documents discovered at the home of current President Joe Biden, a former White House counsel has officially been subpoenaed. In case you might not remember, the president kept a number of these documents in his Delaware home and inside University of Pennsylvania Penn Biden Center offices, with much of the material coming from the time he spent as a senator and vice president.
The documents in question, as per The Western Journal, were found over the course of three different searches conducted between November 2022 and January 2023.
Biden’s documents were uncovered just a matter of months after the FBI raid conducted at former President Donald Trump’s Florida residence, which ultimately resulted in an indictment against Trump for allegedly mishandling classified materials.
“On Monday, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability issued a subpoena to former White House Counsel Dana Remus while also asking four White House employees for transcribed interviews, according to a news release on the website of the House Oversight Committee. Comer has called Remus a ‘central figure in the early stages of coordinating the packing and moving of boxes that were later found to contain classified materials,’ according to Fox News,” Jack Davis wrote for the publication.
“Facts continue to emerge showing that the White House’s narrative of President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents doesn’t add up,” Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer, a Kentucky Republican, went on to say about the release.
“It is imperative to learn whether President Biden retained sensitive documents related to any countries involving his family’s foreign business dealings that brought in millions for the Biden family,” he commented.
Comer then explained that the reason for the questioning is to find out “whether our national security has been compromised.”
A release issued in October disclosed that the Oversight Committee was convinced documents discovered in Nov. 2022 were actually first found the year before.
“President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents, including the apparently unauthorized possession of classified material at a Washington, D.C. private office and in the garage of his Delaware residence, raise serious concerns about his mishandling of sensitive intelligence information and his Department of Justice’s double standard of justice,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan of Ohio said about the discovery. “Today’s subpoena and transcribed interview requests represent another step in holding President Biden and the DOJ accountable.”
“The President himself was illegally holding classified material for some purpose, the American people deserve to know what that purpose is — and whether it constitutes an abuse of office,” House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Rep. Jason Smith of Missouri remarked. “His Administration hasn’t hesitated to scrutinize political opponents’ use of classified materials, and he should be held to the same standard.”
A letter sent to Remus’s lawyer stated that she “has knowledge of why White House personnel began to visit with frequency Penn Biden Center in 2022, where classified materials, including materials related to Ukraine, were later discovered.”
“Therefore, your client is in a position to provide information related to whether, among other things, Joe Biden, as Vice President and/or President: (1) took actions to hide or cover up his improper possession of classified materials; (2) abused his office of public trust by knowingly using Executive Branch employees to attempt to ameliorate any political repercussions of having been discovered to have improperly possessed highly sensitive classified materials; or (3) knowingly maintained improper possession of classified materials related to countries from which his family received millions of dollars,” the letter read.
Fox News provided a list of other individuals who are being interviewed which includes: Annie Tomasini, director of Oval Office Operations; Anthony Bernal, a senior advisor to first lady Jill Biden’s office; Ashley Williams, a special assistant to the president and deputy director of Oval Office Operations; and Katharine Reilly, an advisor to the White House Chief of Staff.
Robert Hur was selected as special counsel by the Justice Department to head up a probe into Biden’s handling of classified documents. Comer has since requested that Hur create a list of countries and people named in any of the documents.
