Comer admonished Biden in the immediate aftermath of the discovery of the first batch of documents at the Penn Biden Center, demanding that the Justice Department and National Archives treat Biden with the same scrutiny as former President Trump. He noted that Biden "has apparently inappropriately maintained classified documents in an insecure setting for several years," before launching an oversight investigation on the matter the very next day.
Comer on Tuesday stated that Pence had reached out and fully agreed to cooperate with congressional oversight. Comer characterized Pence's "transparency" as standing "in stark contrast" to Biden White House staff who he accused of "withholding information."
