    Key members of Congress have been granted access to classified documents found at locations linked to President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump, and former Vice President Mike Pence, according to multiple reports on Tuesday.

    The Biden administration began sharing the materials with the "Gang of Eight," which includes House and Senate leaders and the top members of each chamber's intelligence committee, last week in a "rolling production," a source told CNN.

    Lawmakers have been briefed on the documents in the past but voiced frustration with what they said was a lack of transparency that hindered their ability to perform oversight.

    Two "Gang of Eight" members, Senate Intelligence Chairman Mark Warner (D-VA) and Vice Chairman Marco Rubio (R-FL), have been particularly vocal, citing concerns about national security. A meeting in February with the Justice Department and leaders of the U.S. intelligence community "left much to be desired," they said in a joint statement at the time.

    Biden's and Trump's handling of classified documents is each under investigation by two separate special counsels appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland.

    FBI agents seized more than 100 classified documents stored at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida last summer in an escalation from negotiations that had taken place during the preceding months.

    Biden's team said they found about ten records marked classified while clearing out Biden's office at a D.C. think tank in the days before the 2022 midterms, although that discovery was not made public until January when CBS News broke the story of a Department of Justice inquiry. Since then, searches by Biden's lawyers and the FBI have taken place at Biden's home in Wilmington, Delaware, and his beach house in Rehoboth, Delaware, which have turned up more materials of interest to investigators.

    Documents with classified markings were also found at Pence's home in Indiana.

    The discovery of these classified documents prompted the National Archives to call on other former presidents and vice presidents to check for such materials. The agency is tasked with taking custody of presidential and vice presidential records at the end of an administration under the Presidential Records Act.

    Some of the documents found in locations linked to Biden date back not only to his time as vice president but also to his tenure as a U.S. senator.

Was it a judicious ploy for Joe Biden's FBI to execute the unprecedented raid of President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate?

  Yes; the Cheneys despise this former Republican president, and for good reason ... so they say.

  No; never has a former president been treated with this level of vindictive abuse by those temporarily in power.

  Who cares? It's Trump.

Among the many other lackluster performance standards by the Biden Administration - the most recent, allowing the Chinese Spy Balloon unfettered access to the skies above this Sovereign Republic - Joe Biden's foreign policy is considered by most true experts to be mediocre to abysmal at best. If one were to give a fair assessment of the quality of this apex duty of this Executive Branch: What would be your opinion of the Biden Administration's Foreign Policy initiatives and, or obvious faux pas?

  President Biden is a Foreign Policy expert of consummate skill just like his brother, Jim, and his son, Hunter.

  America's First Idiot President is corruptly committed to making the World far less safe, while surrendering OUR United States of America's sovereignty whenever, wherever possible.

  Mr. Biden is MY President because I pay close attention to only what rewards me, thus demanding as little sacrifice as is my nature to offer, or shrug.
