Then Vice President Joe Biden's former executive assistant Kathy Chung told the House Oversight Committee that she wasn't aware there were any classified documents among the belongings she packed up.
CNN reported Wednesday on the contents of Chung's interview to the GOP-led committee, with Chung telling lawmakers she did not notice any documents with classified markings as she unpacked boxes to move Biden into his Penn Biden Center office.
Chung testified that she didn't look closely at Biden's belongings, which also included family photos, policy papers and challenge coins, she said.
