Secret vice presidential documents found in Biden’s private office

Lawyers for US President Biden found a dozen classified documents in November in his private office at a Washington think tank. The documents date from when Biden was vice president (from 2009 to 2017) of the United States, a White House lawyer reports.

James Comer, who is set to become committee chair. House oversight. “How ironic.”
