Top Republican now wants homes of Biden's family searched for documents trends now
House Oversight and Accountability chairman Rep. James Comer wants the Justice Department to cast an even wider net by searching homes of Biden family members for classified material, after the discovery of additional classified material at Biden's Wilmington home.
Comer, a Kentucky Republican who has already launched a probe into Hunter Biden, said 'any premises' where Biden has spent time ought to be searched – and made reference to the homes of his brothers and the Malibu home maintained by son Hunter Biden.

That followed the discover of material marked classified in his former Penn Biden office and another batch at the home. That followed a report in DailyMail.com that revealed Biden's vice presidential document had a stopover in downtown DC in 2017 before making their way to the Penn Biden think tank office he used.
House Oversight Chair James Comer wrote the Secret Service seeking any visitor logs of Biden's Wilmington home. He also says he wants any premises where Biden lived searched

In a letter dated Monday, he noted that the White House claims it does not maintain such logs, but that the Secret Service 'does generate law enforcement and criminal justice records' for people who may come into contact with protected sites.
Comer was critical of the nature of the current searches being done with Biden's permission through his attorneys.
'We learned that initially they just took the president's personal attorney's word that there were no further documents. At the very least, this should put to bed whether president Biden's attorneys actually know the extent of his responsibility,
