On 1/12/2023, Reporters grilled White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on ‘GarageGate’ and the cover-up involving the classified documents stored at Biden’s Delaware home. On Monday it was revealed top secret intelligence documents were found in Joe Biden’s private office shortly before the 2022 midterm elections. Joe Biden stored top-secret files with the “sensitive compartmented information” (SCIF) designation at Penn Biden Center in DC. Joe Biden’s aides found at least one more batch of classified documents at another location. Government officials discovered more classified documents at Joe Biden’s Delaware home – in the garage. US Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel to investigate Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents. Garland tapped Robert Hur as the special counsel.
Fox News reporter Peter Doocy dubbed the scandal “GarageGate” – after it was revealed classified documents were stored in Biden’s garage next to his Corvette. “Another one on GarageGate. What is the White House trying to hide?”
KJP: “Nothing”
Doocy: “Someone gave the President a statement to read on Tuesday that was incomplete at best. Misleading at worst. Who?”
KJP dodged the question! “I have read out the president’s statement,” she said. “I have read it out yesterday and what he said. He said he respects and takes classified information and documents very seriously. That’s what he said. He said he did not know that the records were there, he does not know what’s in them. You’ve heard from him directly from him on this and his team has cooperated fully, fully, and not only that, and the attorney general said this himself, that he heard from the team shortly after. We have laid out what has occurred here.”
Doocy further asked Jean-Pierre on providing transparency to the public regarding visitors to the president’s Delaware home. “When will the White House release a log of visitors to the Wilmington house?” Doocy continued.
“You know, Peter, you’ve asked this question, or your colleagues have asked this question before. Let’s not forget what we did here in this White House. We’ve instituted something that the last administration got rid of, which is making sure that there was a White House log, an extensive White House log so people got to see—”
“What about in his Wilmington house where there were potentially unsecured, classified material?” he asked.
“Again, we did something that the last administration got rid of, which is instituting the White House logs,” she said. “Did you ask the last administration why they got rid of the White House logs?”
Doocy argued that the public should know who had access to this material during their visits to the president’s private home. Earlier Thursday, Biden told Doocy that the documents were in safe storage in his locked garage and that he is cooperating fully with the Justice Department.
Biden’s special counsel Richard Sauber announced that classified documents were found in the garage during a Wednesday search of his residences. His lawyers discovered ten documents with classification markings in the president’s private office at the Penn Biden Center in November, which were later turned over to the National Archives and Records Administration.
The president said Tuesday that he was “surprised” to learn that classified documents were stored in his office and that he does not know about the content in the documents. He and the White House have assured that they are fully cooperating with the Justice Department in the midst of its investigation into the documents.
