what are you seeing? yeah alex, after a click glance at these two statements, we are learning the big big news here is that there have been more classified documents uncovered from his wilmington home. this is coming from the statements according to richard s of, or the special counsel to the president, as well as bob bauer, president biden s personal attorney. basically, bob bauer is saying that as a personal attorney, he went to the penn biden center, and he and his team, as well as president biden s wilmington, home went to the home, and because he does not have a special security clearance to be able to handle, these he then informed the doj and the national archives, and then richard bauer, the special counsel to the president in his statement says, quote, because i have a security clearance, i went to wilmington thursday evening to facilitate providing the presidents personal counsel found on wednesday to the justice department. while i was transferring it to the doj
news. well, i think what i will say is that, like president biden, i take classified documents very very seriously, any classified information, and so what i believe is that it is appropriate that eric garland has put an independent counsel, special counsel, on this investigation, because that shows independents of the department justice, it shows equal treatment under the law, and what i do see is that, so far, the reporting shows a very different set of scenarios between what has been found in the biden garage or office, and of course what was hidden by mr. trump for a very long time. from a political perspective, does this concern you at all that it may affect the goodwill towards president biden at this point, in the potential announcement as to his deciding to run in 2024.
