handling of classified documents from his time as vice president. house oversight chair republican james comer sent a letter to the white house asking for visitor logs, later came the letter came one day after five more pages were found at biden s hm in addition to the two batches of records that were previously disclosed. so the administration hasn t been transparent about what s going on with president biden s possession of classified documents and we just want equal treatment here with respect to how both former president trump and current president biden are being treated with the document issue. some of the president s fellow democrats concede the administration has made some missteps in its handling of the issue. well, it s certainly embarrassing, right, embarrassing that you would find a small number of documents certainly not on purpose, one of those moments that obviously they wish hadn t happened. with us now to talk about this is ali with the president in
good morning. i m jose diaz-balart. any minute now we ll be hearing from president biden who is expected to deliver remarks opt the economy and efforts to tackle inflation. this as the new government report reveals consumer prices fell just a tenth of a percent from last month aligning with what economists were expecting. meanwhile, the development surrounding the president over classified documents. aids to the president found at least one additional batch of classified documents from the obama administration in a location separate from biden s office. according to a person familiar with the matter. this just days after the white house said less than a dozen documents were found in a locked closet in the private office at the penn biden center in washington. that sparked a doj review of the matter. joining us now is white house correspondent carol lee, who was in the nbc news reporting about the classified documents. also with us is glen kesher in, legal analyst. so what wil
