What ELSE are they hiding? White House claims of transparency face even more scrutiny as it's revealed National Archives was BLOCKED from releasing statement on classified documents found at Biden's think tank

Revelation came during questioning of Archives general counsel Gary Stern by top Republican James Comer

It raises questions over who stopped the release from going public

********************************************************

The National Archives was prevented from notifying the public that classified documents had been found at President Joe Biden's think tank back in November, raising questions over who stopped the information from coming out.

House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman James Comer raised the question Tuesday night, claiming the only two entities that could have given the order are the White House and the Department of Justice – putting the onus on either Biden or Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Despite Biden's team claiming they have been 'transparent' regarding the classified document scandal, new details emerged Tuesday that the FBI had searched his former offices after the initial materials were found.

Documents with classified markings were found at Biden's Washington, D.C. think tank in early November, just days before the 2022 midterm elections.

The National Archives prepared a press release to notify the public of the discovery, but was stopped from issuing it, Comer revealed.

'There are only two people that could have given those orders, and that's either the Department of Justice with Merrick Garland or the White House with Joe Biden,' the Kentucky Republican told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday evening.

More government corruption. This is worse than watergate. Ever since Nixon, the AG has been corrupted and politicalized.

Documents with classified markings were found at Biden's Washington, D.C. think tank...

The only thing they were thinking about was how to screw over the American people.

The Administration has been trying to hide this matter since classified documents were first discovered last year. They didn’t want this out where it would hurt their case against Trump, who they hoped to indict. Basically, it’s a coverup by the Biden Administration.

Most things are worse than Watergate...including stuff that Woodward and Bernstein have done.

If you really gaze around....the FBI had some kind of ‘watch’ over associates of Hunter. Probably enough there to hook Hunter in a Fed charge or two, and whoever was holding this...cranked up the document thing a notch on Joe. Someone has an agenda/schedule in mind....with Joe gone by a point (I would guess mid-2023).

I saw where the FBI was already in 2017 looking at the Hunter-crew. Someone held them back...till the right point. Probably the same folks who ensured that Harris was the VP pick.

They should come down especially hard on the national archive people because they are the ones that said that trump didn’t return material and started that whole raid thing and second of all they came out and said in October that Biden didn’t have any classified material

It is interesting that the National Archive was one of the weapons used against Trump.
Clearly someone at NA is involved in this up to their ears.
