For us. What do we know about the documents in this second batch . Reporter we dont know much other than bidens attorneys uncovered a second batch. The first batch was found in early november in an office that his attorneys were clearing out. That included ten classified documents, including information about iran, the uk and ukraine and even included topsecret information.

One of the biggest questions, is this it . The white house has been very careful not to say that the first batch or second batch is all they know is out there. Thats a really big question to have hanging over the white house. How is the gop responding to this on capitol hill . Im sure theyre pouncing. Reporter of course theyre pouncing.

Not always a good thing whenela saturday. Not always when you fix a statement that was provided a day earlier. What the white house is now confronting, they have had to explain multiple times in the past week about the finding of these classified documents. And a lot of it, frankly, theyve known about the documents since at least december, that there were additional documents they chose not to disclose it.
