Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel on Thursday to investigate President Joe Biden’s handling of government documents, after three batches of classified Obama-era materials were found in his home and private office.
Biden is now the second consecutive president to face a Justice Department investigation over classified documents; Garland appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith in November to probe former President Donald Trump’s actions after the 2020 election and his handling of thousands of official documents found at Mar-a-Lago.
