were found in his delaware home as late as this morning. we are still trying to sort some of this out. the two men who could potentially face off for the presidency in 2024 are now both under a special counsel probe, another word for probe is investigation. so oversight committee member byron donalds is standing by we will speak with him in just a moment so first let s talk with peter doocy white house correspondent waiting for the two-minute warning at the white house and we ve been waiting about an hour and a half now for this to go under way. hi, peter, tell us what you are expecting at this point. martha we are expecting them to come out at some point, and the topic du jour today is why isn t this administration, we have this ms ration claims to be so transparent with everything including on this issue, and yet we are finding out more details about this case from the attorney general. here at the white house somebody sent president biden out in mexico city on tuesday ni
building about a mile and a half away from your. turns out on december 20th, last month, somebody associated with the president s personal legal team knew about a second find of classified information in his home in wilmington, delaware. we asked him about that earlier today. mr. president, mr. president, classified material next to your corvette, what were you thi thinking? let me, i need to speak on all this god willing but as i said earlier this week, and by the way my corvette is in the locked garage. okay? it s not like analogous to sitting on the street. so it s in a locked garage? yes as well as my corvette. so he is defending a little bit there. the way these documents were kept, the justice department that obviously is not satisfied there will be a special counsel and we expect them to start pouring over everything that the press secretary, the president
process as you stated in your question i am limited in what i can say. it is now in the hands of the department of justice which they are reviewing this the special counsel it was announced by the attorney general so i ll leave it there. it was the president trying to say when he referenced the corvette earlier because it sounded like he was implying that because his garage is a safe place for his car that the documents were safe. therefore it was safe of the currency for documents is out he? look, i will just leave his statement as is. your colleague was having a back and forth with the president, you can read the transcript and what was asked of him and why he responded that way, i will not get into specifics. you talked about being transparent. who is we and what is the definition of transparent in this case? as of the lawyers being transparent legally with the archives and the justice department? or is at the white house at large being transparent with the
residence and in his residence summoned up the garage. so these documents were distributed and divided. why? what was the purpose of sending one box to d.c. or having one box stay in delaware? one possibility is that they were relevant to things of vice president was working on. now the reason that is a serious threat for the president is that if he actually worked off these documents which we a were cleary marked as classified this inadvertent defense goes out the window. the question is why were they sent to different locations and what locations where they sent to? it also means by the way they were likely put on moving trucks or had other people that were moving these documents. that is something of a nightmare for the fbi when you are dealing with ts sci material. but my question still is they were distributed and divided. why? they had to be some reason why they ended up in one spot and some ended up in another.
i don t want to make sure anyone is confused as soon as the president s lawyers found it documents the immediate leak right dumb i contacted archives and the department of justice as i ve said many times already to ensure they were handled properly, the president has said this. we are being fully cooperative with the department of justice throughout this process as part of the president s lawyers look through the places where documents could have been stored in the counsel s office release as you said a statement explaining that so i would refer you back to that statement. i don t have anything more to say but that search was completed last night and now this is in the hands of the justice department to look, i want to be weary prudent here as i said it yesterday as you reported yesterday over and over again, any specifics there is a review going on in our view to the department of justice or my colleagues at the office but i will not go beyond with the president said, we just laid out
