WASHINGTON — A select group of congressional leaders on Tuesday will hear from administration officials about classified documents found in the possession of President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence, people familiar with the matter said.
Members of Congress from both parties have been calling for such briefings. The Justice Department has appointed special counsels to investigate how records with classification markings ended up at private residences of Biden and Trump.
The 4 p.m. private briefing at the Capitol is for the so-called “Gang of Eight” lawmakers who have the most access to the nation’s secrets. That includes Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, as well as the top Republicans and Democrats on the intelligence committees in both chambers.
