House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner, on ThisWeekABC, harshly criticized the DOJ's decision not to let Congress see the documents because of the ongoing special counsel investigations of Biden and Trump's conduct.
His comments come days after former Vice President Mike Pence's lawyers said they found he retained some classified materials after leaving office -- just as Biden and Trump did .
An attorney for Biden has said much the same, contending after some of the materials were found that they were "inadvertently misplaced."In this Jan. 19, 2022, file photo, Rep. Mike Turner attends a news conference in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C."It's just really astounding because it shows there's really a systemic problem here on the administration handling side, of both the vice president's office and the president's office," he said.
The Republican congressman singled out Biden's conduct, noting that some of the documents in Biden's home dated back to his time as a senator at least 14 years ago. Turner declined to specifically address the Pence case when pressed, other than noting Pence said he'd been unaware of the materials.
