House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Thursday continued to say that Congress has an obligation to investigate President Joe Biden's handling of classified documents and attempted to compare Biden’s handling of classified documents to former President Donald Trump’s. Referring to the new "weaponization of the federal government" subcommittee, McCarthy said, "I see it could go from that committee or others, but I think Congress has to investigate this." McCarthy said he didn't see the difference between the two situations, despite Trump's months of stonewalling investigators efforts to retrieve them. Asked why it isn't a priority to investigate Trump's handling of classified documents -- given he says it's a priority to investigate Biden's handling of classified documents -- McCarthy dodged and continued to focus on the "raid" of Mar-a-Lago and the manner in which Trump's home was searched. 'Congress has to investigate' Biden documents matter, McCarthy says originally appeared on abcnews.go.com
