on biden s classified documents, the white house has begun to construct its stonewall. the lead starts right now. i m going to refer you to the department of justice. i m not going into any specifics from here. i would refer you to the white house counsel office. the white house refusal to answer questions is not going to stop them from mounting. why did the biden white house wait so long to acknowledge classified documents have been found at biden s private office and home and garage and who has access to those rooms. plus a rising death toll after tornados sweep through alabama and georgia. today the search for even more victims as homeowners sift through piles of debris. and body cam footage caughting the family member of to end up tase and dead. what went so terribly wrong. welcome to the lead, i m jake tapper and we start with the politics lead with the white house on defense amid the growing probe into president biden s handling of classified documents which
