President Biden said the probe into classified records discovered in his former office and his Delaware home will show that 'there's nothing there' and that his team followed protocol for turning them over to the appropriate government agencies.
"I think you're going to find there's nothing there," Biden told reporters Thursday at a stop during his tour of storm damage in California.
At one point visibly frustrated, Biden said he is "fully cooperating and looking forward to getting this resolved quickly." "We found a handful of documents were filed in the wrong place," he said. "We immediately turned them over to the Archives and the Justice Department."The White House has faced criticism for failing to publicly disclose the discovery of the first batch of documents, which took place in November, until January.
But Biden, who expressed frustration that reporters were asking about the records and not the storm damage, said Thursday that "I’m following what the lawyers have told me they want me to do."
