A new federal lawsuit may uncover new details on a trove of classified documents found in Joe Biden's office at the “Penn Biden Center,” run by a university that receives funding from Communist China.
The non-profit public interest law firm Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Defense Department for “documents regarding a key Biden staffer allegedly involved in the handling of Joe Biden's materials housed at Penn Biden Center (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of Defense (No. 1:23-cv-03836)),” JW reports.
“While the Biden administration was scheming to jail former President Trump over a document dispute, Biden operatives were desperately trying to cover up Biden's own and more significant document scandal,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “And the cover-up continues with yet another Biden agency hiding records in violation of law.”
The lawsuit was filed over an October 18, 2023, request for:
Records and communications of Kathy Chung, Deputy Director of Protocol, Office of the Secretary of Defense, including emails, email chains, email attachments, text messages, voice recordings, correspondence, letters, logs, calendar entries, calendar meetings, memoranda, reports, regarding:
1. Communications with Dana Remus, email address: [email protected], Covington & Burling, LLP, Washington, DC, concerning the Penn Biden Center, Washington, DC, or any classified documents or materials at the Penn Biden Center.
2. Communications with any person using the email domain @who.eop.gov regarding classified documents, documents, or materials at the Penn Biden Center.
3. Communications with any employee using the email domain @dod.mil regarding classified documents, documents, or materials at the Penn Biden Center.
The documents are also sought by congressional investigators, who have so far been stonewalled.
U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer, in a May 5, 2023 letter, initially asked former Assistant to the President and White House Counsel to President Biden Dana Remus to cooperate with the Committee's ongoing investigation of Biden's “mishandling of highly classified documents.”
At the time, Comer wrote:
The Committee has obtained information that contradicts important details from the White House's and President Biden's personal attorney's statements about the discovery of documents at the Penn Biden Center, including the location and security of the classified documents. The Committee has learned that you were a central figure in the early stages of coordinating the packing and moving of boxes that were later found to contain classified materials. Following a recent transcribed interview with Ms. Kathy Chung – the President's former assistant from when he was Vice President and subsequent employee of then-former Vice President Biden's company, Celtic Capri [now Deputy Director of Protocol, Office of the Secretary of Defense] – the Committee has identified you as a witness with potentially unique knowledge about this matter and requests information from you.
***
Specifically, the Committee seeks clarification regarding the timeline of events prior to November 2, 022 (the day, according to the White House and the President Biden's personal attorney, documents were discovered at Penn Biden Center), the security of the documents in the Penn Biden Center before and after Ms. Chung packed them, and President Biden's history of potentially mishandling classified material.
The Biden White House has not complied.
Comer followed with an October 11, 2023, letter to Remus' White House successor, Edward Siskel.
Chairman Comer wrote:
In January 2023, President Biden's personal attorney, Bob Bauer, released a statement that included a timeline of events that inexplicably began on November 2, 2022, with the “unexpected[] discover[y]” of Obama-Biden records at Penn Biden Center. President Biden's timeline was incomplete and misleading. It omitted months of communications, planning, and coordinating among multiple White House officials, Ms. Chung, Penn Biden Center employees, and President Biden's personal attorneys to retrieve the boxes containing classified materials. The timeline also omitted multiple visits from at least five White House employees, including Dana Remus, Anthony Bernal, Ashley Williams, Annie Tomasini, and an unknown staffer. There is no reasonable explanation as to why this many White House employees and lawyers were so concerned with retrieving boxes they believed only contained personal documents and materials.
If Judicial Watch's suit is successful it could force disclosure of those documents.
The discovery of classified documents at the Penn Biden Center is concerned, as the University of Pennsylvania, which operates the think tank – and Chinese funding skyrocketed after it formed ties with Biden.
“In the 37 months of available reporting prior to the announcement of the Biden Center, the University received about $21,187,333 from China,” writes Comer in a January 18, 2023 letter to UPenn.
“In contrast, in the 39 months of available reporting since the announcement of the Biden Center, the University received $72,274,675 from China—an increase of $51,087,342 in a similar time frame,” Comer notes.
Communist China has allegedly used such funding to increase its influence over American-based research and academics, spread propaganda and place agents in sensitive areas to collect intelligence and monitor U.S.-based dissidents.

Lawsuit Filed Over Classified Documents Found At Chinese-Funded Biden Think Tank
Will Trump Dump JD Vance?
ANALYSIS – Is Trump regretting his VP pick? Will Trump tell Vance he is “fired”? When former President Donald Trump selected J.D. Vance as his vice presidential candidate soon after surviving an assassination attempt, some called the choice bold and a doubling down on Trumpism.
I said he could help Trump make his case in 2024 and be the GOP standard bearer in 2028. Still, I also said I would have preferred Trump had picked a woman, and that I had some reservations about Vance as VP, including his youth and inexperience.
