House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-OK) pressed the White House on Tuesday about whether aides pressured the National Archives and Records Administration to stay quiet about President Joe Biden’s mishandled classified documents.
Comer questioned why a draft statement written by archives officials never became public at the time news broke about the discovery of classified records in Biden’s home, even though the agency released a public statement almost immediately after news broke about the discovery of classified documents in former President Donald Trump’s home.“The Committee is concerned about President Biden’s lack of transparency given the serious national security implications of his conduct,” Comer wrote.
The lawyer, Gary Stern, told the committee “that someone outside of NARA withheld [the draft statement’s] release,” Comer noted. “According to the [Justice Department] guidance, I’m not supposed to talk about the, you know, content of our communications with other parties,” Stern had said.
