Dem Senator Voices Support for Special Counsel Investigation Into Biden

A Democratic senator is expressing support for an investigation into classified documents found to be in President Joe Biden’s possession.

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) appeared on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday and was asked by host Jon Karl if he agreed with the appointment of a special counsel in the case.

“Well, certainly,” Warnock responded. “Let me say, at the top, that classified documents are to be taken seriously. And they are to be handled with a great deal of care, and no one is above the law.”

He added, “So I’m glad to see the Justice Department doing its work.”

Karl noted White House officials knew classified documents had been discovered at the Penn Biden Center in November and asked if Warnock believed the public should have been informed sooner.

“I’m glad to see that the president and his administration are cooperating, and they should continue to cooperate, nobody’s above the law. And we need to get to the bottom of this so we don’t see this kind of thing happen again,” the senator responded.

Karl reiterated his question and noted some Republicans have suggested there was a cover-up.

“The Justice Department is engaged in the investigation. And that’s one of the questions that I think they will explore. And I don’t want to get in front of that investigation,” Warnock said.
