The Oversight Committee, under the leadership of Chairman Comer, conducted interviews related to the mishandling of classified documents involving White House employees during President Biden's administration. The committee identified a subset of 173 interviews, including former White House counsel Dana Remus.
One notable finding was Remus' retrieval of documents from the Penn Biden Center in May 2022, reportedly for potential congressional inquiries into the Biden family's activities from 2017 to 2019. This raised questions about the involvement of government employees in handling personal documents related to the President.
Chairman Comer confirmed that President Biden was questioned about the recovered classified materials but did not provide specific details about documents related to potential congressional inquiries into the Biden family's activities.
The committee also learned about visits to the Penn Biden Center by White House employees, including Kathy Chung, before the alleged discovery of classified materials in November 2022. While specific names like Annie Tomasini were not mentioned in the report, interviews with relevant individuals were conducted to gather information about the handling and access to the documents.
Chairman Comer emphasized the importance of interviewing all relevant sources of information and confirmed that interviews were recorded as part of the investigation process. However, exact figures regarding the number of White House employees visiting the Penn Biden Center before the discovery of classified materials were not provided during the committee session.
The committee's report, detailed in Chapter 14, contains information about the visits and individuals involved in handling the documents. The Oversight Committee's efforts to uncover the truth behind the mishandling of classified materials continue as they aim to hold accountable those responsible for the security breach.
