Snowden, the former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst who revealed details of US spying programs, noted that members of Biden’s legal team discovered new classified documents in an office used by the governor shortly after his term. Barack Obama (2009-2017).
“The real scandal is not that Biden had secret documents (…), because unfortunately everyone had them, but that the Department of Justice learned about them a week before the midterm elections and chose to suppress the information, causing a partisan advantage,” added Snowden, who obtained last year’s Russian citizenship.
The Justice Department had known since the beginning of November, but just two days after the midterm elections, it confirmed that it was investigating the discovery of classified Obama administration documents in another office used by Biden ahead of his 2020 presidential campaign.
The White House confirmed Monday that it is cooperating with the investigation, and Biden himself admitted on Tuesday that he did not know what documents were involved nor why they were in that office.
