Attorney General Merrick Garland's decision to allow personal lawyers for President Joe Biden who didn’t have security clearances to search for classified documents at Biden’s Delaware homes has been harshly criticized by Republicans.
The hands-off approach by the Biden Justice Department has also led to claims of double standards compared to how the DOJ handled the presence of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, including an unprecedented raid by the FBI in August 2022.The Wall Street Journal reported this week the Justice Department considered, but decided against, having FBI agents watch over Biden’s personal lawyers as they searched for classified documents at two homes in Delaware.
Andrew McCarthy, a former federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York and a contributing editor at National Review, said the Biden DOJ was “grossly negligent” in this decision. “Worse yet, Biden’s Justice Department knew the same things Biden knew, and still decided that Biden aides without security clearances, rather than the FBI, should conduct searches that were virtually certain to turn up — and, in fact, did turn up — more classified documents that those aides were not authorized to possess,” McCarthy concluded.
Bob Bauer, one of Biden’s personal lawyers, defended the Biden team’s handling of the classified documents saga last week.
