The batch of classified documents recently discovered in President Joe Biden’s office at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C., were taken from the office of the vice president, the position that Biden was about to relinquish, in 2017. This discovery presents more complicated problems than is generally known.
Joe Biden should have been a lot more careful in making sure that nothing left his vice-presidential office that he was not allowed to take. When documents in question are marked “classified,” there is no mistaking it: The tell-tale red, orange, and blue folders that hold them make it obvious. These files matter not just because they were classified (as protecting all classified information is vital to our national security) but because of where they were kept.
