WASHINGTON - A White House official attacked House Republicans on Tuesday for engaging in “political stunts” over the classified documents found in President Biden’s home and former office, declining to say whether it will cooperate with congressional investigations into the issue.
“They’re faking outrage,” White House communications officer Ian Sams told reporters, pointing to Republicans’ apparent lack of dismay after highly sensitive documents were found last summer at Mar-a-Lago, the estate where Donald Trump retired after his White House term concluded.
“When it comes to Congress we intend to review and respond to oversight inquiries in good faith,” Sams said. But “we're going to call it out when we see rampant hypocrisy,” he added, criticizing Republicans for what he called a “total lack of credibility.”
Coming one week after Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel to investigate the handling of the classified documents, the comments from Sams appeared to foreshadow a contentious battle with the new Republican-controlled House, with clashes likely looming over subpoenas and demands for testimony from top administration officials.
A spokeswoman for Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the new GOP chair of the House Oversight Committee, who has sent multiple letters requesting information about the documents, quickly responded, telling Yahoo News that "The Biden White House’s attempt to deflect from the issue isn’t a strategy that’s going to work."
Bruised earlier this month by a contentious speakership fight, Republicans appear rejuvenated by the prospect of investigating Biden with the same zeal with which Democrats investigated Trump.

The Dems attempt at throwing Biden under the bus with “newly discovered” caches of classified documents all but guarantees Trump will get convicted this year, since the individual who jails Trump would be literally worshipped as a deity by the Democrat base.
Yeah, so? That's SOP, learned from Democrats.
There’s a horrible video on the Fox site of Biden smirking and then laughing at the hapless journalists futilely trying to get him to answer questions.
I have always really heated being laughed at. Maybe the “journalists” will fight back in the media. Or just retreat?

I’ll wait to see what was in the documents before I get too excited.
When they deal with a Republican, it’s like taking candy from a baby but when you deal with that damn evil, swine, cesspool effing creatures, it’s like pulling teeth. Nothing is going to happen to the veggie exactly like the bitch from hell didn’t pay the consequences. You know the “like a cleaning cloth Defense.” Gosh, I despise them.
We need to exterminate all socialists in this country. And anyone who demands we negotiate with these godless hypocritical aholes.
And then there is a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT news critter who awhile back who said Trump should get the DEATH penalty.
Resistors are futile
It is to laugh.
Ha! I’ll bet. 😆
“But resist we much. We must, and we will much- about that- be committed.”
AL ‘Not So Sharp’ Sharpton
Resist, we much....
sounds like obstruction of justice to me!
4th or 5th reason to impeach Biden now!
Let’s remember those terms:
* This is all a political stunt
* They’re faking outrage
Might come in handy when they go after Trump.
so much for transparency...
AND use the House’s new powers to seize any and all documents, tax records, emails, texts, phone calls, cell location data, and arrest and hold anyone they want without a trial. GOP pansies need to start playing with the democrat party rules.
All with his staffers doing the usual. “THANK YOU. You need to leave now.”
And yep. Biden is laughing at us. He know he is untouchable and love rubbing our noses in it.
RE: I’ll wait to see what was in the documents before I get too excited.
A bad sign is “White House aides went to look for more documents to make sure everything would be in full compliance with the DOJ requests later in the week.”
Probably guys were seen dragging a still smoldering bulk shredder across the lawn to take to the dumpster. Totally overheated and burned out.
