A Democratic lawmaker is planting seeds of suspicion about President Biden’s classified documents.
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), who once worried Guam could sink from overpopulation, floated a conspiracy theory on Thursday that sensitive papers found at Biden’s Delaware home and an office he used at a Washington, DC, think tank could have been “planted.”
Johnson, 68, told Fox News he was “suspicious” that the 80-year-old president’s lawyers “conveniently” discovered the material from his days as vice president during the Obama administration.
“Alleged classified documents showing up allegedly in the possession of Joseph Biden… I’m suspicious of the timing of it,” said Johnson, using the words “alleged” and “allegedly” despite the White House and Biden admitting that some of the papers found were classified and discovered in his garage, personal library, and office at the Penn Biden Center.
“I’m also aware of the fact that things can be planted on people, places and things can be planted … things can be planted in places and then discovered conveniently,” Johnson went on, suggesting the possibility of an unprecedented break-in taking place at the president’s own home in an effort to embarrass him and his administration and potentially land him in legal trouble.
