This week, the true extent of President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents became even more evident. I’ve been working to ensure the president is held accountable for his actions and will continue fighting to ensure our Justice system treats all Americans equally, regardless of political affiliation.
Not only did President Biden keep documents containing our nation's secrets in his home’s unsecured garage and his office at the University of Pennsylvania, but he also refused to maintain visitor logs at his residence to keep the American people from knowing who had access to those classified documents. I was the first Member of Congress to call for the release of those visitor logs, which we now know do not exist.
It has become clear the Penn Biden Center, where Joe Biden maintained an office after his time as Vice-President, likely took donations from Chinese entities while simultaneously storing classified documents. President Biden’s mishandling of our nation’s secrets is more serious than President Trump’s alleged crimes, yet there was no televised FBI raid of our current president’s home and office. The hypocrisy of our federal law enforcement agencies is staggering.
Take my survey below and keep reading for more information on the actions I’ve taken this week to hold the Biden Regime accountable.
GOODEN DEMANDS ANSWERS ON FOREIGN DONATIONS TO BIDEN THINK TANK
The White House pledged from the beginning of Joe Biden’s presidency to be the “most transparent government in history.” New revelations this week show that could not be further from the truth. President Biden conveniently withdrew a federal policy that requires American universities to disclose foreign donations, which would include donations to the president’s think tank, the Penn Biden Center. Concealing these foreign donations jeopardizes our national security, fails to protect the American people from malign foreign influence, and raises the question of why the president would want to conceal this information. I sent a letter to the Secretary of Education on Thursday demanding the release of all information regarding contracts and gifts from a foreign source between the Department of Education, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Penn Biden Center.
Do you believe President Biden's mishandling of classified documents, combined with his ties and his family's ties to communist China, present a major risk to U.S. national security?
THE BORDER CRISIS IS PUTTING OUR NATIONAL SECURITY AT STAKE
While the president was visiting the border for an all-talk, no-action photo-op last week, I sent a letter to the Director of National Intelligence demanding an assessment of the impact our open border has had on national security. Last year, 98 non-U.S. citizens on the Terrorist Screening Database were encountered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) after illegally entering the United States. It is unknown if more individuals on the terrorist watchlist have evaded border patrol and are roaming undetected throughout our country. This raises critical national security and intelligence concerns that must be immediately addressed by Secretary Mayorkas and the Department of Homeland Security. Congress and the American people deserve to know the threats our communities face.
“Gooden is sending a letter to Education Secretary Miguel Cardona about the agency’s decision to exclude important data about foreign donations to universities from its online database. The Biden administration has failed to list donor names in a break from previous administrations.”
Who had access to Biden classified documents? Republican demands White House release Delaware visitor logs
“Republican Texas Rep. Lance Gooden is demanding the release of all visitors logs for President Biden's residence in Delaware after the White House revealed a batch of classified documents was discovered in the president's garage.”
