Biden classified documents: National Archives won't share info with House Republicans without DOJ approval
National Archives officials argue sharing certain information on Biden classified documents may hamper DOJ special counsel investigation

The National Archives says it requires Justice Department approval before it can share information with Congress about the classified documents found in President Biden's home in Wilmington, Delaware, and the Penn Biden Center think tank.
Republicans on Capitol Hill have demanded details on the contents of the three stashes of classified documents found in Biden's Wilmington garage and the Penn Biden Center's offices in Washington.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., has been aggressive in seeking details about the documents and Biden's handling of them. Nevertheless, the National Archives sent a letter to Comer Tuesday evening saying it cannot yet comply.
"DOJ has advised it will need to consult with the newly appointed Office of Special Counsel (SCO) in DOJ to assess whether information can be released without interfering with the SCO’s investigation," acting Archivist Debra Steidel Wall wrote in the letter, first obtained by CNN.
