Mr. Her, why do you do it . Why did joe biden your words willfully retained and disclosed, classified materials . I mean, he knew the law in an office like 50 years five decades in the United States senate, chairman of the Senate Foreign relations committee, eight years as Vice President , he got briefed every day as Vice President.

Despite a report finding joe biden knowingly mishandled classified documents, democrats on the other hand, accusing her of Playing Politics with lines in his report about bidens age and memory what did todays hearing really achieved .
