Congressional Republicans are pursuing answers about President Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents on multiple fronts as the White House continues to stonewall the public about the case.
House Republicans had spent months carefully planning the investigations they would launch if their party won a majority in the lower chamber in November.
And while those investigative targets remain priorities — including an investigation of the border security disaster, which the House Oversight Committee has already launched — the Biden documents case has consumed much of the earliest efforts from top House committees.
In the Senate minority, Republicans are also kicking off an investigation into the Biden documents case.
The involvement of a special counsel has complicated the matter by giving the White House a messaging shield behind which to hide and exempting the Department of Justice from some obligations to cooperate.
But Republicans are still working to glean what they can from agencies involved in the discovery and oversight of Biden’s improperly stored classified documents.
