'Things can be planted in places and then discovered conveniently. That may be what has occurred here,' Democrat Hank Johnson told Fox.
"Alleged classified documents showing up allegedly in the possession of Joseph Biden… I’m suspicious of the timing of it," Johnson told Fox News' Hillary Vaughn on Thursday after a second batch of documents was found in the president's garage in Wilmington, Delaware.
Just hours after Johnson told Fox about his suspicions around the discovery, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Robert Hur as the special counsel to investigate the classified documents. "Based on what we know, there is a big difference between the Trump and Biden document cases," Johnson said, adding that the situation surrounding Biden's possession of documents does not compare to the classified materials found in former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence.
"It's irresponsible to not disclose when you have documents," Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., told Fox on Thursday."[Biden] has certainly done that. And he's been working cooperatively to make sure that everything is disclosed. That is what should happen. And, yes, we certainly need to start understanding why these documents are making their way out of the White House."

Biden leaving documents behind is ‘deeply embarrassing’United States Study Centre’s Stephen Loosley says for US President Joe Biden to leave behind classified documents at an office is “deeply embarrassing”. Documents with classified markings from Mr Biden’s tenure as Vice President during the Obama administration were discovered in his office at the University of Pennsylvania, potentially putting the President in breach of several laws. “The fact that these documents are probably few in number, about ten, with classifications that may or may not be particularly secret would be lost in the wash,” he told Sky News Australia. “So the Republicans, they’re already looking at a Congressional committee to investigate. “But the trap for them is if they pursue the current President very, very vigorously over this issue, then it opens the door for an even more vigorous pursuit of former president Trump.”
