Top Senate Democrat Dick Durbin on Sunday said President Biden 'bears ultimate responsibility' for the classified documents that were found at his house, not his staff.
SENATE DEMOCRATS SUPPORT FULL INVESTIGATION INTO BIDEN DOCUMENT SCANDAL: 'IRRESPONSIBLE AND DISTURBING'
"Well, I'm concerned. There's a standard that we follow when it comes to members of Congress and classified information. The door to my office is closed. The person that presents the document to me takes it out of a locked briefcase, hands it to me and watches as I read it. When I finish reading it, he takes it back, puts it in the briefcase and leaves the scene," Durbin said."That's how carefully we review these documents.
"Contrast that with Joe Biden, embarrassed by the situation, as he should have been. He invited the government agencies in to carefully look through all the boxes he had accumulated," The Illinois Democrat continued."It's a much different approach. It is outrageous that either occurred, but the reaction by the former president and the current president could not be in sharper contrast.
Sen. Joe Manchin called the "open press system" in the United States a "problem" during a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Jan. 17, 2023."This news raises serious questions and the appointment of an unbiased special prosecutor to investigate the matter is the right step," Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said.
