WASHINGTON - On Monday, U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), senior member of the Committee on the Judiciary and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), ranking member of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, sent a letter to United States Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle requesting a complete list of all individuals who entered locations where classified records relating to then-Vice President Biden’s tenure were found. This letter follows the recent discovery of classified documents at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement and President Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware residence.
 
“We have raised concerns about whether then-Vice President Joe Biden stored and archived government records in compliance with federal records laws” the senators said.
 
Earlier this month, the senators sent a letter to Richard Sauber, Special Counsel to the President, regarding Joe Biden’s understanding of federal record-keeping requirements after the White House failed to respond to their previous inquires in July 2021 and June 2022. The senators’ request from January 2022 remains unanswered.

Ms. Kimberly Cheatle
Director
United States Secret Service
 
Dear Director Cheatle:
 
We write today relating to the discovery of “documents marked classified from Joe Biden’s vice presidency” that have been found at multiple locations.[1]  Since July 30, 2021, we have raised concerns about whether then-Vice President Joe Biden stored and archived government records in compliance with federal records laws.  According to reports, your agency is “prepared to turn over documentation of visitors to [President] Biden’s Delaware home if requested by Congress.”[2]  Accordingly, as part of our ongoing congressional investigation, we request that no later than February 2, 2023, the Secret Service provide a full and complete list of all individuals who entered the locations where classified records relating to then-Vice President Biden’s tenure have been identified. 
 
Sincerely,
