The president previously called Donald Trump 'irresponsible' for keeping top secret documents at his Florida home.
, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, said that the American public should have been made aware earlier of the discovery of the documents, especially as they were found so close to the midterms.
"They knew about this a week before the election, maybe the American people should have known that," Jordan told reporters."They certainly knew about the the raid on Mar-a-Lago 91 days before this election, but nice if on November 2, the country would have known that there were classified documents at the Biden Center."
Democratic Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee, said in a statement that Biden's attorneys"appear to have taken immediate and proper action to notify the National Archives" about the discovery of the materials so they could promptly be returned to the government.
"I have confidence that the Attorney General took the appropriate steps to ensure the careful review of the circumstances surrounding the possession and discovery of these documents and make an impartial decision about any further action that may be needed."
