The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday said the panel has “unfinished business” after the White House blocked the release of details behind President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents by administration officials.
Sen. Mark Warner, Virginia Democrat, voiced bipartisan frustration that has lingered among committee members following a closed-door hearing in January where lawmakers said the Office of the Director of National Intelligence blocked the release of key details of the documents until the Department of Justice concludes its investigations.
After meeting in January with Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, Republican and Democratic senators fumed over the administration’s decision to stonewall senators over key details behind the classified documents. The intelligence office also has not provided a risk assessment concerning the documents recovered in the FBI raid of Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. Ms. Haines said in August that the intelligence community would undertake such a review.
Justice officials have said the release of certain information to lawmakers could hamper ongoing special counsel investigations into the matter.
