Florida Senator Marco Rubio (R) appeared on the Fox News "Hannity" TV Show this week to discuss a number of issues, including the ongoing investigation into the classified documents President Joe Biden (D) had over several locations.
Chiding the Justice Department, Sen.Rubio called on a bipartisan effort to further investigate Biden's classified documents in question.
Senator Rubio, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that as a member of the committee, they are in "charge with making sure that our intelligence agencies are doing a good job." What this entails is making sure that they're protecting classified information from espionage and from putting our country in danger."
"We know that there are letters and documents and materials - the media seems to know about it more than Congress does - that are out there, that were not stored properly," Rubio commented, noting that the committee wants to know what the classified information in question is, but the Justice Department is pushing back against the inquiry.
"The Justice Department possesses them, but the intelligence community knows what they are, and they're refusing to tell us which materials they are. It's not that we're not clear. We've probably seen some of these documents and materials over the years. They won't tell us which ones they are, so how can we know if there's a risk here?" Rubio questioned.
"How can we know if any damage has been done and whether the plan to mitigate that damage is sufficient if we don't know what we're talking about?" Rubio further questioned, warning that the Justice Department's "refusal to tell us what was exposed is not sustainable, it's not acceptable, and I think you're going to begin to see us take action - I hope and I expect - on a bipartisan basis until they do."
