Staff Reports
President Joe Biden is under investigation for his handling of classified documents, and it seems like there could be a lot of witnesses involved. Sources have indicated that up to 100 witnesses may be called in the probe, which is being led by special counsel Robert Hur. Hur has been working on this investigation for nine months and has made it clear that he plans to be fair and impartial.
Some of the key figures who have already been questioned include Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and other high-level officials in the Biden administration. The investigation is looking into various aspects of how President Biden handles confidential materials, including his note-taking habits and who he trusts to carry them. It’s a pretty big deal, especially since it’s being compared to the investigation of former President Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents.
Interestingly, the White House and President Biden’s personal attorney have not commented on the investigation. However, they have both tried to distance the president from any potential scandal. They want to make it clear that this is not the same situation as Trump’s investigation and that Biden had no involvement in any mishandling of classified documents.
🚨 JUST IN: Per ABC, the federal probe into Biden's handling of classified documents has grown into a SPRAWLING investigation.
Several sources claim that as many as 100 witnesses have already been interviewed.
WILL ANYTHING COME OF THIS? 🤔 https://t.co/PKrbsqlNdX

The investigation began after classified documents were discovered at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C. and in the garage of President Biden’s Delaware home. The Department of Justice appointed Hur as special counsel to look into the matter, while Trump was still dealing with his own legal issues over classified documents. It’s important to note that at least 25 documents requiring top-secret clearance have been found in places associated with President Biden.
Despite the seriousness of the investigation, President Biden has tried to downplay it. He has suggested that the documents were simply filed in the wrong place and that there’s nothing to worry about. His attorney has also expressed confidence that a thorough review will show that the documents were inadvertently misplaced. However, with up to 100 witnesses being called in, it might be hard for him to dismiss the investigation so easily.
Meanwhile, it’s worth noting that President Trump is facing felony charges for allegedly mishandling classified documents. The FBI even raided his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida as part of the investigation. It’s definitely a tough situation for both presidents, but it remains to be seen how things will play out.
