office. i do not know what is in the documents. my lawyers have not suggested i ask what documents they are. they turned over the boxes to the archives and we are cooperating fully. with the review and i hope that is finished soon. there will be more details at that time. this is coming as the new house oversight chairman sent letters to the white house counsel s office and national archives trying to get information on biden s handling of classified documents. i want to bring in jonathan martin as well as karen and david. i am glad to have you here. we begin with you jonathan. this is not the news president biden wanted to start the new year. there is a bit of dysfunction with the speaker both but the fact of the matter is he needs to contend with it. what is your take? the circumstances are different, obviously his folks called when they realized they had classified documents there and also biden is not his best defender. obviously this will create a challenge for him.
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

president biden, the further they go out on this, the question becomes, if that is how we are going to treat president biden, is that how we are going to treat donald trump? i think it is reversed, if that is help retreat donald trump why does biden get the presumption of innocence and niceness and this is just a accident. let s remember the reporting so far the file said personal and in it was personal material like funeral arrangements for his son, that is joe biden s personal file. in that file is ts sci material. clearly mishandled. when documents were found in
