President Biden leaving Atlanta Sunday did not address the discovery of new pages of classified
material among the records recovered at his home on Saturday the president's legal team
revealed in a statement that five additional pages with classified markings were discovered
among the materials previously discovered at his Wilmington residence as of now approximately 20
documents have been uncovered at two locations connected to the president
CNN has learned 10 classified documents were found at his former office in D.C among them information
about Iran Ukraine and the United Kingdom and those documents included top secret information
on Thursday the White House revealed documents had also been found at the president's Wilmington home
in a storage space in the garage and in what was described as an adjacent room attorney general
Merrick Garland also announced Thursday the appointment of Robert Herr to serve as a special
counsel to oversee a criminal investigation into the matter the document authorizes him to
investigate whether any person or entity violated the law in connection with this matter is a former
Trump appointed U.S attorney and trump-era justice department official he will take over from John
lausch the Trump appointed U.S attorney who led the initial review of classified documents found
at Mr Biden's office and recommended Garland appoint a special counsel over the past week
new details about the classified documents have leaked out mostly through media reports with the
White House deferring to the justice department we're just not going to get ahead of the process
from here and the president trying to defend why classified documents were stored in the same
garage as his sports car my Corvette's in a lock garage okay so it's not like you're sitting on
the street but on Saturday in what appears to be a shift in strategy the White House was the first
to reveal that additional pages had been found but that has not stopped Republicans for calling for
more investigations we're doing the Biden family influence pelling investigation and I can tell you
what we've learned just in the last few days from Biden's mishandling of classified documents is
that the Biden Center was funded primarily through Anonymous donations from China but Democrats
emphasize that Biden and his team have cooperated while Trump is under investigation for obstruction
Mr President Trump who refused to cooperate who refused to comply with a subpoena and who
ultimately forced the Department of Justice to execute a search warrant to retrieve the
classified documents and that is where we need to be centering this conversation
frustration growing this morning inside the White House over the ongoing backlash
to the discovery of classified documents in President Biden's private office and
Delaware home including from the president himself according to three sources familiar
with the matter the battle for the soul of this nation is perennial it's a constant struggle the
president in Atlanta Sunday celebrating the life of Martin Luther King Jr in the church he once LED
while staying silent on the latest developments including Revelations over the weekend that more
classified material was found at Mr Biden's Wilmington home all of it adding to Growing
questions about how the sensitive records ended up in his possession after leaving
the vice presidency Mr Biden's personal attorney arguing they can't release certain details quote
relevant to the investigation while it is ongoing the total number of pages recovered is unclear but
documents with classification markings have been identified in multiple locations less than a dozen
at the Penn Biden Center in Washington DC back in November while the rest were Unearthed in the
president's Wilmington residence in the last month found in a locked garage and an adjacent room
the White House admitting Saturday that more classified material than previously
known had been examined and handed over to the Department of Justice
as some Democrats concede the communication misstep especially given the president's
past criticism of Donald Trump's handling of classified information it's certainly
embarrassing while defending key differences in the cases more than 300 classified records
were seized by the FBI at Mar-A-Lago after the former president refused to hand them
over to the National Archives that's apples and oranges so we should keep a sense of proportion
and measure but that hasn't stopped House Republicans from already launching several
investigations what's real concerning to me is how Justice is applied and is it applied equally
