Biden's DOJ blocks National Archives from speaking on Biden's classified docs—allowed it for Trump's docs

Republican Rep. James Comer on Tuesday revealed that the National Archives "wasn't allowed" to talk about the classified materials found in President Joe Biden's possession, despite their extensive public coverage of former President Donald Trump's own classified document controversy. 

In an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, the Kentucky congressman and new chairman of the House Oversight Committee said that National Archives general counsel Gary Stern told him had been blocked from making public statements on Biden's scandal, noting that only the Justice Department or the White House could have made that order.

"Right before the National Archives came in, they handed us a letter from the Department of Justice informing them and us that the general counsel for the National Archives wasn't allowed to say anything about the Biden documents," Comer said of an interview he was conducting with Stern. "But we went ahead and we had about a three-plus hour transcribed interview with the general counsel, and what we learned was that there is a double standard here with how Donald Trump was treated versus Joe Biden."
