Attorney General Merrick Garland is expected to make an announcement Thursday afternoon, addressing the public a day after the discovery of a second batch of classified documents from President Biden’s tenure as vice president.
The announcement comes as the Justice Department is under pressure to appoint a special counsel to oversee an investigation into the potential mishandling of the records.
Biden’s team in November discovered about 10 classified records in a center where he worked after leaving office in 2016. That resulted in a subsequent search, revealing an additional batch of records at Biden’s Delaware home.
The matter comes as the Justice Department has appointed a special counsel to oversee the investigation into former President Trump's mishandling of records after some 300 records bearing classified markings were discovered at Mar-a-Lago.
