The Washington Examiner’s Sarah Westwood said on Monday that many entities are “running interference” for President Joe Biden amid his classified documents scandal.

“Classified documents have been found just about everywhere Biden’s team has looked for them,” Westwood told Maria Bartiromo on Fox News. “So, for the university [of Delaware] to block a legitimate search of documents when there is probable cause to believe that some could be among those papers, it just shows there’s a lot of people running interference for Biden right now.”

This comes after Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) called for the FBI to investigate the documents from Biden’s Senate tenure, which are housed at the university. He also suggested Hunter Biden’s homes be investigated.

The documents Biden donated to the university include those spanning from 1973 to 2009.

“We know that the Biden team didn’t handle his Senate documents properly, all of them,” Westwood explained. “Because some classified information from his time as a senator were found in his Wilmington home.”

Citing recent instances of former officeholders discovering classified materials in their personal spaces, she noted there is a lax culture regarding classified documents.

Asked about concerns regarding these materials falling into the wrong hands, particularly those of the Chinese Communist Party, she said, “There’s so few safeguards for Chinese influence in academia.”

“It’s a problem that Republicans are talking about more and more.”

“The Penn Biden center that was housed in the Washington, D.C., office where the first batch of classified documents were found, has had links to Chinese funding through the University of Pennsylvania. There’s concerns there about what sort of influence was done on that center’s work — who had access to those offices?” Westwood asked.

“And, of course, those same questions can be asked of the documents at the University of Delaware. We don’t really know how those are being stored and who has access, much like we don’t know what went on at the Wilmington house or the Washington, D.C., office,” she told Bartiromo.
