More classified documents found at US President Joe Biden's home (Euronews)

Lawyers for United States President Joe Biden have found five additional pages with classified markings at his home in Wilmington, Delaware.

The White House is already facing scrutiny for waiting more than two months to acknowledge the discovery of the initial group of documents at the Biden office. Sauber's statement did not explain why the White House waited two days to provide an updated accounting of the number of classified records. The White House had said previously that only a single page was found there.

The swamp comes for Joe Biden (The Hill)

Now Biden has what no president wants: A special counsel hanging over him for the foreseeable future.

And then there’s candidate Donald Trump, who will surely make the raid on Mar-a-Lago and Biden’s apparent hypocrisy a centerpiece of campaign rallies Why didn’t the DOJ inform the public of the discovery of the classified documents when they were first discovered on Nov. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) or Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) won’t be on any committees this time to help shape the narrative through the media. If the president, any president, spends 60 weekends away from the White House in under two years in office, the public has a right to know who is visiting him. Regardless of the answers, one thing is clear: The ability and ease of government officials – whether it’s Hillary Clinton after she was secretary of state, Donald Trump post-presidency or Joe Biden post-vice presidency – to take classified materials home without any written documentation must stop. Do they pertain to Hunter Biden’s business deals involving alleged influence peddling in the family name in China and Ukraine? (Biden was attending a funeral at the time of Garland’s announcement.) Why is this information coming out now, six years after the documents were originally stored? And now Biden has what no president wants: A special counsel hanging over him for the foreseeable future, along with a Republican Congress launching its own investigations. “Again, we did something that the last administration got rid of, which is instituting the White House logs,” she said. So, who has visited the president during his nearly 200 days and nights in Delaware? 2 at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C.

Littwin: Maybe the investigation now should be into how Biden threw ... (The Colorado Sun)

Did Donald Trump's crimes against democracy leave AG Garland any choice but to investigate the case of Joe Biden's document misadventures?

Mike Littwin has been a columnist for too many years to count. And when he did finally address the first batch of documents — a development Biden called “surprising” — it was only after there had been news reports about it. House Republicans have been looking for years — back to when Biden was a mere candidate — for any reason to impeach him. Any Justice Department charges against Trump will be made that much more difficult to bring, at least in political terms, if there aren’t any brought against Biden. The first documents — dating back to when Biden was vice president — were discovered in November at Biden’s think tank. — or anyone on the Biden team. Think back to Hillary Clinton and Benghazi for reference. It’s not like they’re sitting out in the street.” I’d say Garland did what you’d expect him to do, although it will never be enough, of course, for his right-wing critics, some of whom are demanding to know why Biden’s home hasn’t been raided. I know I don’t have to tell you this, but these are strange times in which we live. And besides, if there’s anything we learned from Bill Barr and Robert Mueller, it’s that the Justice Department doesn’t believe you can charge a president while in office. attorney](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-lausch-us-attorney-special-counsel-joe-biden-classified-documents/), it’s no easy thing for an attorney general — who is appointed, after all, by the president, but is nevertheless expected to be a neutral arbiter — to decide to unleash a special counsel on the president.

Joe Biden to mark Martin Luther King Jr birthday with Atlanta sermon (The Guardian)

President heads to Ebenezer Baptist Church aiming to shore up Black support ahead of likely 2024 run.

The president planned to be in Washington on Monday, to speak at the National Action Network’s annual breakfast, held on the MLK holiday. The administration also has acted to end sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine offenses, scrapping a policy widely seen as racist. Biden was invited to Ebenezer, where King was co-pastor from 1960 until he was assassinated in 1968, by Senator Raphael Warnock, the senior pastor. Turning out Black voters in those states will be essential to Biden’s 2024 hopes. In advance of Biden’s visit to Atlanta, White House officials said he was committed to advocating for meaningful voting rights action. Members of his family attended Biden’s sermon. Like many battleground state Democrats in 2022, Warnock kept his distance from Biden as the the president’s approval rating lagged. We’re all in it together.” The White House on Saturday revealed that additional classified records were found at Biden’s home near Wilmington, Delaware. Unlike some of his other speeches on the topic, Biden did not mention Donald Trump or Republicans directly. Sinema is now an independent who caucuses with the Democrats. Since then, there has been no federal action on voting rights.
