According to multiple media outlets, which means the White House is staying out in front of this story, Joe Biden was interviewed by Special Counsel Robert Hur (pictured below left) about the classified documents located in his Delaware home, beach house and office in Pennsylvania. The documents stem from the time when Joe Biden was a senator and vice-president.
WASHINGTON DC – President Joe Biden has been interviewed by the special counsel team investigating how classified documents from his time as vice president ended up at his office and home, the White House said Monday night.
The interview was conducted at the White House on Sunday and Monday and was done voluntarily, the administration added.
“As we have said from the beginning, the President and the White House are cooperating with this investigation, and as it has been appropriate, we have provided relevant updates publicly, being as transparent as we can consistent with protecting and preserving the integrity of the investigation,” Ian Sams, spokesperson for the White House, said in a statement.

From AG Merrick Garland remarks (emphasis mine):
[Transcript] […] “On the evening of November 4, 2022, the National Archives Office of Inspector General contacted a prosecutor at the Department of Justice. It informed him that the White House [Counsel] had notified the Archives that documents bearing classification markings were identified at the office of the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, located in Washington, D.C. That office was not authorized for storage of classified documents. The prosecutor was also advised that those documents had been secured in an Archives facility.
On November 9, the FBI commenced an assessment, consistent with standard protocols, to understand whether classified information had been mishandled in violation of federal law.
On November 14, pursuant to Section 600.2(b) of the Special Counsel regulations, I assigned U.S. Attorney Lausch to conduct an initial investigation to inform my decision whether to appoint a Special Counsel.
Mr. Lausch has served as the U.S. Attorney in Chicago since 2017. Before that, he spent more than a decade as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in that same office. I selected him to conduct the initial investigation because I was confident his experience would ensure that it would be done professionally and expeditiously.
On December 20, President Biden’s personal counsel informed Mr. Lausch that additional documents bearing classification markings were identified in the garage of the President’s private residence in Wilmington, Delaware. President Biden’s counsel informed Mr. Lausch that those documents were among other records from the period of the President’s service as Vice President. The FBI went to the location and secured those documents.
On January 5, 2023, Mr. Lausch briefed me on the results of his initial investigation and advised me that further investigation by a Special Counsel was warranted. Based on Mr. Lausch’s initial investigation, I concluded that, under the Special Counsel regulations, it was in the public interest to appoint a Special Counsel. In the days since, while Mr. Lausch continued the investigation, the Department identified Mr. Hur for appointment as Special Counsel.
This morning [January 12, 2023], President Biden’s personal counsel called Mr. Lausch and stated that an additional document bearing classification markings was identified at the President’s personal residence in Wilmington, Delaware. [More]
The timeline doesn’t make sense. What was the FBI and John Lausch doing for two months? Something is not adding up.
If the FBI began investigating on November 9th, and USAO Lausch began investigating on November 14th, then why were Joe Biden’s lawyers informing Laush of additional classified documents found in Delaware on December 20th? Why did the FBI and Lausch not find them?
Why were Joe Biden’s Lawyers informing USAO Lausch, on January 12th, about the third batch of classified documents? Again, where was the FBI and John Lausch?
Also, you don’t appoint a Special Counsel on the day it is announced. There had to be some discussion with Robert Hur in the lead up to the announcement.
We still don’t know what the classified documents were about, how old they are, or how many of them exist. The only thing confirmed is the documents pertain to the timeline of the Obama-Biden administration which was January 2009 through January 2017.
The Penn-Biden Center didn’t exist until 2018, so where were the classified documents between the time they were taken and the time they were discovered in the office.
As Vice President Joe Biden had no authority to declassify government documents and could not possess classified documents.
Me and Suspicious Cat remain, well, suspicious…
“As Vice President Joe Biden had no authority to declassify government documents and could not possess classified documents.”
Oh, put the w.h. wants you to know they are cooperating, so nothing to see here.
*****
I robbed those banks………but I’m telling you how I spent the money. Geez.
Ah, another corrupt Chicago connection.
Mr. John Lausch is the ‘fixer’ in this case.
Apparently the spin is that everything illegal is legal if you cooperate with the government, and everything legal is illegal if you don’t.
Doesn’t matter if it’s Trump vs Biden re classified documents, MAGA vs feds re January 6th, Musk vs Swamp re Twitter, …
Biden’s defense attorneys, along with Christopher Wray and Merrick Garland, will most likely state there was no “intent” to be nefarious about anything. And then case closed.
The old No Reasonable Prosecutor (TM) trope. Yep.
Meanwhile Fed perverts raided Mar-a-Lago.
Melania threw out all the clothes the FBI pervs fondled. Then she had the estate disinfected.
Why wouldn’t she? The FBI are syphiletic scum. She doesn’t want their diseases.
Hi Joe, did you get that list of questions and suggested answers the dept. sent you last month? Good and thanks, but I think your..uh…teleprompter misspelled the words, “climate change.”
Penn-Biden center is a spy op like the world has never seen.
I would be more interested in learning about the classified documents that went missing, as in, to what other countries.
The Penn center is a thin front for Chinese money going to bribe a corrupt president. The DC office is flat out evidence. Where is the discussion of what did the president sell and when did he sell it? Utter corruption, likely to be buried under the rubble in WWIII.
The whole family is disgusting, but selling out America, facilitating its invasion and downfall is unforgivable. Mayorkas is running the Obstruction of Justice Dept. and none of his very special prosecutors have any credibility given the rot from the top.
I’ve mentioned it several times here. I used to work in 101 Constitution Ave NW, where the Penn Biden Ctr is. The location is mere steps from the staging area for all the Jan 6 craziness.
My floor (the 7th) at 101 Constitution was SWARMING with obvious Chicom spies, whose front operation was a TV network. We shared restroom facilities with them. If you ever tried to make restroom smalltalk with them “Hey what’s up?” they would COMPLETELY ignore you like you weren’t there.
It was creepy and unsettling and we used to always talk in the office about the spy operation down the hall.
Let me guess the outcome!
“Joe Biden did nothing improper. The documents were simply household expenses”
Or weather reports.
Pornography
“No reasonable prosecutor”….
Of course all prosecutors these days are reasonable. Except the ones that aren’t.
This means little as the counsel’s mission is to protect joe biden, not to investigate im
Well, turns out Joe had no intent to possess classified documents and no reasonable prosecutor would ever suggest to bring charges.
I still to this day remember that God Awful Comey speech. Nothing has changed.
Another communist party coverup
Government will not investigate itself and find no guilt … period! When will people learn this simple fact?
Actually the government does investigate itself, in order to determine where the leaks and mistakes were made so that such mistakes are not made in the future when the same corruption/grift is tried again.
All true, and yet…
…somehow they always end up with some newer and worse mistake – if not several.
Joe Biden’s spox claimed climate change is the biggest threat to humanity.
“Does Biden stand by his comment that climate change is “more frightening than a nuclear war”? Fox News host Martha MacCallum asked Kirby.
John Kirby replied, “Absolutely he does — climate change is an existential threat!”What a idiot Biden truly is..
Good thing war is good for the environment.
Nuclear war is a green war with hardly any carbon emissions or nitrogen pollution. Clean and green, unlike cows and gas stoves.
He’s surrounded himself with idiots. It didn’t work; they’re all stupid!
just remember all special councils are cover-up operations …..
Motive is the appearance of equally weighted justice.
So jaded and non pulsed by this, I cannot even raise my blood pressure.
Hence the meaning of non pulsed 😉
What’s the motive behind this story one wonders. Surely it’s got to be cynical at least.
So next year the press can say, “oh this is old news and was debunked ages ago….”
Another Hillary special no doubt. Not under oath, counsel present, a lot of ‘do not recalls’ and ‘don’t answer that’ AC privilege assertions, fact witnesses given immunity.
They just announced that so they could say “we can’t answer that. it is under investigation”.
It is nice to see the Injustice Department working at its finest to root out corruption in our third world government.
Standard two-tier justice is operative here. Until Joe Biden is convicted of a crime in a court of law, no evidence exists that a crime of any kind was ever committed by Joe Biden.
meanwhile, Trump is defending himself against 4 indictments in separate jurisdictions. Total BS, they just want the appearance of investigation. The difference is Joe was sharing info with foreign governments, why else would these people pay the Bidens?
Exactly, why else would these people pay the Bidens?
What’s the benign explanation for the 20 shell companies, or what was office, shared with the Chinese, for? Hunter? I’ll wait, because there isn’t one.
FYI the US Govt will never investigate itself EVER EVER !!!!!! USA is the most corrupt country on earth too bad many dont understand..We are a Corporatocracy run by US Oligarchs……and MIC( military industrial complex). Obama the ringleader holds Joe by the balls and squeezes daily.
Nothing to see here please move along
https://nypost.com/2022/04/09/54m-in-chinese-gifts-donated-to-upenn-home-of-biden-center/
A government watchdog is demanding the US attorney probing Hunter Biden in Delaware investigate tens of millions in anonymous donations from China to the University of Pennsylvania, where an academic center is named for his father, President Biden.
The Ivy League college raked in a total of $54.6 million from 2014 through June 2019 in donations from China, including $23.1 million in anonymous gifts starting in 2016, according to public records.
Most of the anonymous donations came after the university announced in February 2017 that it would create the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement. Joe Biden, whose term as vice president had just ended, was to lead the center and was also named a professor at the university.
But Biden wasn’t in power in 2017….I wonder what made the Chinese think this would be worth it?
There should be a law against these sorts of donations to those who potentially might run for office…it should disqualify the candidate immediately. Of course our public servants (lol) would be all to eager to pass such a law…/s
Pay for services/information already received, not bribes for upcoming favors.
This is the example of running the clock down till he is declared as a dementia patient and the leave him alone sentence will be the sentence
Joe can’t remember what the hell had for breakfast. It is time to stop this farce.
Biden will be forced to give over to Newsom, and this is just part of the persuasion. They did it to Sanders, too. They need these guys to leave but also keep their mouth shut.
Sanders got a house on Lake Champlain and his wife got a ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card from the government.
Biden hasn’t died of natural causes as expected, and the Biden criminal enterprise appears ready to run him as a corpse if it means they stay in power.
Seems like they’re going with plan B which is to push him over the ledge. It has the added bonus of making it look like DOJ is fair.
Why the delays? They didn’t need Plan B yet. The SC is a scam to hide things…until those things are needed.
The fairness angle makes sense. But why add the Penn Biden Center?
Giving attention to that funding mechanism only further peels back the curtain to expose democratic corruption techniques.
They found them where they found them. I lean towards this being chaff to make it look like DOJ isn’t corrupt as they prosecute Trump. It’s an added bonus that they can push Biden down the stairs.
No, I think it’s another Hillary special. Remember that Comey was for Her and sent that letter because he expected she would win and wanted to absolve her before she took office. It just happened to be that he was completely incompetent (as anyone Hillary surrounds herself with invariably is) and ended up making her look like more of a scumbag right before the election.
The Special Counsel here is going to find that Biden did nothing wrong. They are going to absolve him of all his sins in time for his 2024 run because old, demented, at death’s door Pedo Joe really is the best they’ve got
The result of this will be 😴😴😴😴😴 from the DOJ!!! 🤨
Can’t have the “Equal Justice” strategy play out too early. Need more headlines and evidence to mount, which will be followed by faux media calls for Sock Puppet JoeBama to be removed and placed in a drawer at home.
The 3+ trials vs President Trump are just getting started.
Consider … Hakeem Jefferies becomes Speaker of the House.
Then a bi-partisan House sham-peaches JoeBama…and the Democrat Caucus makes a MUCH PUBLICIZED and SEEN mid-night “Nixon Visit” to the White House, to supposedly tell the Sock Puppet the bad news (while JoeBama is having Ice Cream in the basement).
President Trump is convicted in 2 of 3 if not all 3 trials…any appeals if they even make the docket will take years, well beyond 2024 and who cares about the results of the appeals after 2024. In the meanwhile, President Trump has the convictions on his record until the appeals are settled that allows his disqualification as a REPUBLICAN Candidate.
“Nobody is above the law” …right??
Pick your own scenario as to how the DNC replaces Sock Puppet JoeBama and Used Rug Kamala.
Hakeem Jefferies is the anointed replacement for Obama.
In the meanwhile, President Trump has the convictions on his record until the appeals are settled that allows his disqualification as a REPUBLICAN Candidate.
Not so. He could run from prison – and he would.
The same laws that protect “President Trump” condemn “Vice President Biden”.
President Trump Lawyers File Motion for Dismissal in DC J6 Case on First Constitutional Grounds – Presidential Immunity
““The Constitution, the Supreme Court, and hundreds of years of history and tradition all make clear, the President’s motivations are not for the prosecution or this Court to decide. Rather, where, as here, the President’s actions are within the ambit of his office, he is absolutely immune from prosecution.”

Yes, suspicious as all heck. This was after the Mar a Lago raid, so my hunch is there may be corroborating docs that Biden (illegally) had to substantiate (all the Obama/Biden wrongdoing) what President Trump (legally) had. Could be wrong about that, but one thing I’m sure of; none of this with Biden is on the up and up.
Hur will be surfed in the NSA database (and phone advertisement snooping device database) then the bag man will meet him.
This money is good, that hunt is not.
Hmmm, so this bloke gets a home visit while President Trump has a home invasion and an indictment.
Way to go, Justice!
Not only did they obtain a general warrant! these sick bastards even took his wife’s underwear. These corrupt monsters are using the legal system to degrade and humiliate their political opponent. And the Republicans tacitly approve.
has anybody searched those records for Kara Rieds records.
Notice Republicans’ push for impeachment?
Be sure to vote in 24. /s

This is the same John Lausch. Watch the interview, in the end he states he is proud of the work he has done in a city with 600 homicides. He’s quite accepting of all the stalling that goes on in criminal cases involving Democrats charged, such as Mike Madigan. He resigned from the US attorney office in Chicago stating he was going back into private practice at Kirkland & Ellis. Nope, this was his next assignment.
I thought I had read that documents dated prior to the Obama administration, when Biden was a senator, were also found.
Is there any update about that informations? Was it determined to be false information?
“Joe Biden was interviewed by Special Counsel Robert Hur (pictured below left) about the classified documents located in his Delaware home, beach house and office in Pennsylvania. “…..no mention of the NINE(!) Boxes that Biden’s Boston Lawyer was instructed to gather from the Penn-Biden Center around the time Garland sic’ed the FBI on Mar-A-Lago and quietly held in his Boston office till the heat died down…then quietly turned over in NOv to the authorities. Never to be heard about again. Trump’s dox were in their own locked room (he added a padlock after the request of the National Archives, who inspected his site and had NO PROBLEM with it shortly before the raid. Oh, and Mar-A-Lago has Secret Service guarding it 24-7. Joe, as Senator and VP and NO RIGHT to take ANY government dox…and his at Penn-Biden office, per the testimony of his assistant there-they were in unlocked file cabinets and were available to anyone who wanted to see them…..The only logical answer is that Biden was pilfering or copying government dox to give to Hunter to use orshare with his shadyforeign business partners. The Biden Family is not oonly a criminal family- they are traitors.
Funny how plumber Hur never gets any leaks, but plumber Smith (the waterless toilet) has open pipelines that leak. The bolts in my neck are even sparking.
If Biden had some of the classified docs since he was VP, the docs are not “misplaced” as I heard on msm shill state this morning, they’re STOLEN
The bright side is he can not claim presidential immunity because he was only VP when the illegal possession of the classified materials occurred and that could have happened any time between 2009 – 2017 or maybe even when he was a senator…….. holy crap this guy has been selling state secrets for decades. SMH The MSM can claim he was only joking but why would anyone joke about being a traitor ?
Oh how nice they didn’t swear him in under oath and question him.
In the rinos sit back
. Someone wake me up in time for the sentencing hearing……
Ian Sams is a congenital liar

I bet they took a cue from the media stooges and spent the entire two days asking about Biden’s favorite ice cream flavor.
Did the SP serve tea and crumpets??
I’m sure Biden is getting the Hillary Clinton treatment. Co-conspirators allowed to sit in on each other’s questioning; not under oath; “queen for a day” immunity handed out like party favors. Just a friendly little chat to make sure the cover story is airtight so the coverup and whitewash is complete.
How when not covered by the PRA did a VP/ Senator have in possession these documents .Not legal in anyway. Do they have to bring Seditious Comey back to make an illegal prosecution decision since of course, it being Slojo, no 1st year law student would prosecute this case. Right?
