Communications experts weighing in on the White House's response since knowledge of Biden's classified documents came to light in early January say that the administration's response has been lackluster.
"Whether through intent or incompetence, the White House has been behind the curve throughout this entire scandal," said Marc Lotter, former director of strategic communications for Trump-Pence 2020."They have lost control of the narrative. Simply wishing it would just go away while deflecting clearly isn’t working."
In recent weeks, revelations that Biden had Obama-era classified documents in his personal possessions came to light. Classified materials were first revealed to be stored in Biden's office at the Penn Biden center in Washington, D.C. Three days later, the public learned of a second set of files that existed in the garage of Biden's Wilmington, Delaware, home. A third set of classified documents were also uncovered in another location in his Wilmington home.
"When it comes to legal issues, the White House has to be very careful to not intervene politically in this type of investigation. But at the same time, you can't ignore the issue. There's a fine line that Biden and the White House need to walk on," says Jose Aristimuño, former deputy press secretary to the Democratic National Committee and Host of Americano Media.
