The Biden administration reportedly began sharing information last week with the “Gang of Eight” about President Joe Biden’s classified document scandal and the FBI’s raid on former President Donald Trump’s Florida residence.
Upon direct pressure from Sens. Mark Warner (D-VA) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) after months of stonewalling, the Biden administration has begun to give requested information to the “Gang of Eight” about Biden’s classified document scandal and the raid on Trump’s residence, Punchbowl News reported. The “gang of eight” refers to lawmakers comprised of the top four leaders in Congress and on the Senate and House Intelligence committees.
The Justice Department (DOJ) had previously stonewalled Congress from conducting oversight on the Trump raid after Special Counsel Jack Smith was appointed by Joe Biden’s attorney general to investigate the former president’s handling of information.
Warner warned the stonewalling would negatively impact congressional approval of a warrantless surveillance program the Biden administration is desperate to reauthorize. The law is set to expire at the end of 2023.
