Congress finally has the presidential classified docs

Top Congressional leaders have gained access and are reviewing classified documents recovered from the homes of former President Donald Trump, President Biden, and former Vice President Mike Pence. It’s been an ongoing battle between lawmakers and the Justice Department on whether congressional oversight of classified materials is warranted while the DOJ has ongoing investigations. Ultimately, Congress won and got its first look at the documents during the week of April 2.

But the DOJ began producing documents last week to the “Gang of Eight,” which includes an elite group of lawmakers, the Democratic and Republican leaders in both chambers, as well as chair and vice chair of both the House and Senate Intelligence Committees.

The Justice Department argued sharing the documents could compromise its ongoing special counsel investigations.
