House Intel chair: FBI is 'not being forthcoming' on classified docs

Source: The Hill

Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio), the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday that the FBI is “not being forthcoming” about the classified documents found at the homes of President Biden and former President Trump after top lawmakers received a briefing on the matter.

“Well, first off, in the things that we do know, one of things we know is that the FBI is not being forthcoming. They’re not giving us the information. They’re claiming that it’s going to affect the outcome of their investigation, which of course it can’t, because the people who are the targets of their investigation know what are in those documents, and we have the clearance and the ability to look at these documents,” Turner said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

The top Intel lawmaker said that the briefing didn’t share what was inside the Trump and Biden documents. The panel’s top Democrat, Rep. Jim Himes (Conn.), appearing with Turner on NBC, said that “neither one of us are satisfied that we got enough information.”

The FBI executed a search warrant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence last summer, recovering more than a hundred classified materials dating from Trump’s time at the White House. Classified documents were also recently found in separate discoveries at Biden’s Delaware home and an old office in Washington, D.C. Later, classified materials were found at the home of Trump’s former vice president, Mike Pence.

here's a guess
biden docs fairly benign
trump docs super incriminating / partially selected to sell to other countries
pence docs essentially little notes from trump such as "i want to talk to you" or "meet me in the dining room at 4"

fbi doesn't want to trump to look as bad as he otherwise would so they won't disclose details about any docs.
