The Daily Mail is reporting that there was an additional location where classified documents were stored before they went to the Penn Biden Center. The documents were stored in a transition office near the White House. Then they went to a temporary Penn Biden space in downtown Washington, D.C. before eventually ending up at the Penn Biden think tank. The temporary space was located in Chinatown.
The documents were moved in the summer of 2017 after spending about six months at a government transition office near the White House once Biden left the vice presidency.
The space, in DC’s Chinatown neighborhood, was overseen by the Penn Biden Center while its prized location near the Capitol was being readied. The office had its formal opening, attended by Biden, in 2018.
‘Everything was just moved en masse to temporary space, then moved to Penn Biden,’ the person told DailyMail.com.
So, we have a new layer to this story that continues to drip, drip, drip out. The question remains – who took the classified documents in the first place? And, why did he or she do it? It looks more and more like Biden is scapegoating a staffer who was in charge of loading up the boxes when Biden left the White House. But, why were classified documents laying around in Biden’s office in the White House, to be confused with personal papers and documents? Why didn’t the National Archives keep track of the missing documents that have now been found six years later?
Some are pointing fingers at Kathy Chung, a former administrative assistant who oversaw the packing and shipping of Biden’s documents in 2017. It turns out that Chung was recommended for that job by Hunter Biden. He advised his father to hire her. She and Hunter had worked together years ago at the Department of Commerce. Former Delaware Senator Ted Kaufman also spoke to Biden about hiring her. Kaufman is among a trio of Democratic senators she worked for in the past. Hmm.
How many people had access to classified documents over the last six years? That is an important question. There has been plenty of time for someone to use the documents for whatever purpose and then put them back in the think tank, the house, or the garage. Were they used in memoirs? We still don’t know what the documents dealt with and why they were classified. There are all kinds of national security rule violations going on here.
Joe Biden was vice president, not the president. He had no authority to de-classify documents. Why isn’t Obama weighing in on all this? It reflects the security of his White House. It reflects poorly on his administration.
People involved in the process include Biden’s former staff members, General Services Administration personnel, and the staff at the think tank, an entity that would later have roles for senior aides that remain in Biden’s orbit, including now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken who served as the center’s managing director.
What is Blinken’s involvement in this story? It looks like Team Biden has placed a target on Chung’s back. She, however, allegedly had no idea that some of the contents of boxes were classified documents.
Chung was the first person to be publicly identified as meeting with federal investigators in the matter. She spoke to US Attorney John Lausch’s office before AG Merrick Garland appointed Special Counsel Robert Hur to oversee the documents probe.
Officials working with Biden at the time who remain attached to him are senior aides Steve Richetti and Kate Bedingfield, and senior advisor Mike Donilon.
The former assistant helped oversee the packing of files during the busy tail end of Biden’s second term as VP. That was a time that featured a flurry of activity by Biden himself even in his final days in office. It required keeping his office functioning even while things were being put away for safekeeping.
There is no indication that Chung knew that the boxes of documents also included documents marked classified that Biden lawyer Patrick Moore discovered while clearing out Biden’s former DC office in November.
‘She helped pack up the contents of the vice president’s office, including documents, and was responsible for their being transferred to the transition office,’ said the person, who said Chung had ‘responsibility’ for the move. ‘She just didn’t know the contents of every box that was being moved.’
All of this information is dripping out as Biden insists he handled everything properly. He said he has no regrets. There’s no there there. He has lost the trust of Americans at this point. We know his advisers, including Anita Dunn, encouraged him to keep quiet about finding the original stack of documents at the Penn Biden Center. The cover-up is often worse than the crime but in this case, that may not be true. We just don’t know yet. So much for all that transparency from the most transparent administration, evah.
Impeachable offense without question. Biden will not announce he’s running in’24. The opposite in fact.
Chinatown 😂🤣😂 Hollywood couldn’t even make this crap up.
Not looking forward to Harris, but at this point I just don’t see how it can be much worse.
Whenever I think that though, it always gets way worse...
Has anyone checked The Vatican?
Joe visited there about a year and a half ago.
There were rumors that he had a bit of ‘plumbing problems’ while meeting the Pope. Maybe in all the confusion and comotion that followed, Biden or one of his aides left a box
‘of stuff’ behind.
Chung? Chinatown? The jokes write themselves!!!
I still say that if they want to find all the classified documents they need to check Xi’s garage. Just as with his laptop, Hunter just forgot to pick them up
Chung? Chinatown? The jokes write themselves!!!Except they aren't funny. It's in your face sh!t and should be taken seriously.
Chung? Chinatown? And "Special Prosecutor" Hun.

I better go look in my garage........LOLOLOL!!!!
Honestly… every time I see the words “Biden” and “think tank” in the same sentence…..
New locations? C’mon Man.
Beijing, Kiev, Pyongyang, Clinton Library and Massage Parlor.
“Biden think tank”
I bust out laughing every time I read or hear that phrase. LOL
The combination of Biden and ‘think tank’ makes me laugh. I have a feeling that the low level of thinking going on there means that the tank would be less than ankle-deep.
Just a fw minutes ago...I heard 5 batches
Thus just in.
Three new document locations:
Fort Marcy Park.
The grassy knoll at Dealey Plaza.
Area 51.
RE: Just a few minutes ago...I heard 5 batches
And I’ll see those 5 and raise you 2.
