Washington ∙ More files have come out as evidence that US President Joe Biden has also made a serious mistake in handling official secret documents. During the criminal investigation against former President Donald Trump on the same issue, Biden also got troubled and got more secret documents from his private office. The law requires that all documents be handed over to the National Archives after the term of office.
Last November, confidential official papers were found in the office of the ‘Pen Biden Center’ used by Biden, who was the vice president of US President Barack Obama (2009-2017), shortly after he left that position. It contained US intelligence memos and sensitive diplomatic information relating to Ukraine, Iran and the UK. It was only yesterday that the information came out that all this had been carelessly kept for the last six years. The incident, which took place just before the mid-term elections in the US, was kept secret.
Apart from this, when the news spread on Wednesday that some more documents were found, the rival Republican Party turned it into a political controversy. It is not clear where or when the second collection was found.
