Classified documents that were recovered from the homes of President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence were shared with a bipartisan group of top lawmakers in the House and Senate, US media reported Tuesday.
After months of pressure, the Justice Department allowed the group of eight lawmakers including the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Mark Warner, to get access to the documents.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) found classified documents during a search last August at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
Several months later, classified documents were also found in Biden’s home in Delaware.
In January, the FBI also found classified documents at Pence’s home.
The Justice Department appointed Jack Smith as a special counsel to investigate Trump’s handling of classified documents.
US Attorney General Merrick Garland also appointed a special counsel to investigate the issue of the classified documents found at Biden’s home.
