Republican-Controlled Congress Launches Investigation Into Biden Over Classified Document Scandal

The new Republican-controlled Congress launched a probe into President Joe Biden on Tuesday after news broke this week that classified material from Biden’s time as vice president was discovered at a Biden think tank in Washington, D.C.

A source familiar with the matter told CNN that the 10 classified documents contain U.S. intelligence memos and briefing materials on Iran, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom, though it is unclear what exact information is contained.

“The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating President Biden’s failure to return vice-presidential records — including highly classified documents — to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in violation of the Presidential Records Act,” wrote Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer in a letter to White House Counsel Stuart Delery.

“Under the Biden Administration, the Department of Justice and NARA have made compliance with the Presidential Records Act a top priority,” the letter continued, an apparent reference to the criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump. “President Biden has claimed he was not going to ‘get myself in the middle of whether or not the Justice Department should move or not move on certain actions they could take.’”

“The Committee expects President Biden will receive equal treatment under the law given that he maintained classified documents in his unsecured office for several years with access to an unknown number of people,” Comer said. “President Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, also planned to share an office with an individual affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party, which raises questions about who else had access to these highly sensitive documents because of President Biden’s ‘totally irresponsible’ actions.”

Comer said that the White House had two weeks to provide the following documents and information to the Committee:

All documents retrieved from President Biden’s personal office at the Penn Biden Center; All internal documents and communications regarding the documents retrieved from President Biden’s personal office at the Penn Biden Center; A list of all people who had access to President Biden’s personal office at the Penn Biden Center; All documents and communications related to the handling of the classified material by President Biden’s personal lawyers—including but not limited to their security clearance status; and All documents and communications between or among the White House and the Department of Justice or NARA regarding the documents retrieved from President Biden’s personal office at the Penn Biden Center.

Adam Carolla Posts Bookstore’s Window Display That Torches Prince Harry’s New Book

Comedian Adam Carolla posted a photo of a bookstore display that torched Prince Harry over the release of his new tell-all memoir, titled “Spare.”

The 58-year-old actor and podcaster shared the photo of a window display created by a bookstore clerk that made clear the person wasn’t a fan of the Duke of Sussex’s new book.

“This bookstore clerk has a great sense of humor,” Carolla tweeted to his hundreds of thousands of followers on Tuesday.

The tweet included an image of the prince’s memoir mixed in with another book titled “How To Kill Your Family” by Bella Mackie, apparently in an attempt to compare her fictional work with the duke’s book in which he criticizes his brother and sister-in-law, the Prince and Princess of Wales, as well as his father King Charles III.

“Spare” is listed as a non-fiction memoir in which Prince Harry “tells his own story, chronicling his journey with raw, unflinching honesty. A landmark publication, ‘Spare’ is full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief,” the Amazon description notes.

Mackie’s book is a fiction-thriller described by one critic as “funny, sharp, dark, and twisted.”

“When Grace Bernard discovers her absentee millionaire father has rejected her dying mother’s pleas for help, she vows revenge, and sets about to kill every member of his family,” a description from GoodReads states about Mackie’s book.

“Readers have a front row seat as Grace picks off the family one by one – and the result is as and gruesome as it is entertaining in this wickedly dark romp about class, family, love… and murder,” it adds.

At the time of this publication, the tweet has been viewed nearly 200,000 times and counting.

Reading through the comments underneath Carolla’s post, the view from the majority of his followers was that the photo was “hilarious” and “amazing.” One person described the tweet, calling Harry “a traitor to his family.”
