White House Accuses Republicans Of ‘Playing Politics’ Over Classified Docs

The White House accused Republicans on Monday of “playing politics” over President Joe Biden’s burgeoning classified documents scandal. The documents were found at a private D.C. office and at Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware.

Attorneys working for either Biden personally or for the White House have found classified documents on at least four separate occasions and in different places — at an office the president used at the Penn Biden Center, a University of Pennsylvania-affiliated think tank in Washington, and at Biden’s home. The first discovery happened at the think tank on November 2, less than a week before the 2022 midterm elections.

“House Republicans are playing politics in a shamelessly hypocritical attempt to attack President Biden,” White House spokesman Ian Sams told Fox News.

House Republicans, meanwhile, are investigating the matter. Over the weekend, House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-KY) called on the White House to release visitor logs from Biden’s house in Wilmington. The White House responded Monday by saying no such logs exist.

“House Republicans have no credibility,” Sams continued. “Their demands should be met with skepticism and they should face questions themselves about why they are politicizing this issue and admitting they actually do not care about the underlying classified material.”
