Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) criticized the Justice Department’s probe of President Joe Biden‘s alleged mishandling of classified documents, following an announcement on Saturday that the DOJ found more classified documents in the president’s possession.
Turner, the highest ranking GOP member of the House intelligence committee, criticized the investigation Sunday while speaking with Margaret Brennan on CBS News’ Face the Nation.

“I think it looks more like a cover-up than an investigation,” Turner said on the Justice Department’s handling of the investigation.
The Republican also outlined what he thinks the special counsel should look for when examining Biden’s classified documents.
“Clearly he’s become a serial classified document hoarder. Why did he have these? Who did he show them to? I mean the only reason you could think of why anyone would take them out of a classified space and home is to show them to somebody. Who did he show them to? This is gonna be crucial, I think, to the special counsel’s investigation is why did the president have these classified documents, who did he show them to, and is it connected to the Biden family business,” Turner said.

House Republicans have vowed to look into Biden’s classified documents case, with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) saying last week that they will oversee the probes as part of their “constitutional responsibility to oversee the Justice Department.”
The Justice Department announced Saturday it had found six classified documents in Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware residence after a search of the property.
