For years, problems with classified materials have been a shortcut to controversy in Washington
"The American people are very well aware of issues involving classified documents in part because we’ve been talking about them for almost eight years," said Alex Conant, a Republican political consultant.
After disputing the results of his election defeat, Trump left office in haphazard fashion, and he brought boxes of government documents with him to Mar-a-Lago, his Florida resort. Some of them were turned over to the National Archives, which is responsible for presidential records, but he refused to provide others.
During the time that Pfeiffer was CIA chief of staff, classified files turned up in the wrong place in presidential libraries a handful of times, he said. Biden's personal lawyers discovered the documents and contacted the White House counsel's office, and the National Archives picked up the records the next day.
Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the new chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, sent a letter to the White House on Tuesday saying that his panel will be investigating Biden’s “failure to return vice-presidential records — including highly classified documents.”
