A legal watchdog is taking the Biden White House to federal court to determine the extent of any threat to national security posed by the discovery of classified documents that were illegally stored in the garage of Joe Biden's Delaware home and his private office on a publicly-accessible college campus in Washington, D.C.
The non-profit public interest law firm Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) for “all records regarding Joe Biden's improper removal of classified materials while he was a U.S. Senator or Vice President and storage of the materials in unclassified settings as detailed in Special Counsel Robert Hur's February 5, 2024 report (Judicial Watch v. Office of the Director of National Intelligence (No. 1:24-cv-01036)).”
“The public deserves to know what the intelligence director's office concluded about Joe Biden's unlawful ‘mishandling' of highly classified documents,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
Judicial Watch reports it “filed the lawsuit after ODNI failed to comply with a February 21, 2024, FOIA request for damage assessments and equity reviews performed by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence related to the materials improperly removed by Biden.”
“In his report, Special Counsel Robert Hur reports that the documents were found at Biden's home in Delaware and at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C.,” JW notes.
In response, in March 2024, Judicial Watch reports it and the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) “petitioned the Superior Court of the State of Delaware to reopen their case for the release of Biden's Senate records kept at the University of Delaware in light of the findings of Hur that contradict representations made under oath by the University of Delaware that no taxpayer money was used to process Biden's records. Judicial Watch initially filed the FOIA lawsuit against the University of Delaware for Biden's Senate records, which are housed at the university's library, in July 2020.”
That month Judicial Watch also sued the Justice Department for records of all Special Counsel interviews of Joe Biden. Several months later, in December 2024, Judicial Watch filed another FOIA lawsuit against the Defense Department for “documents regarding a key Biden staffer allegedly involved in the handling of Biden's materials housed at Penn Biden Center.”
