Biden's classified doc scandal has 'makings of a potential cover-up' that could put US 'at risk': Rep. Comer

President Biden has faced sharp criticism in recent days over his classified document scandal, as critics allege the White House has been stonewalling the investigation into his latest controversy.

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., joined "Sunday Morning Futures" to discuss the latest discovery of classified material and why the incident has the "makings of a potential cover-up."

Another round of classified documents was discovered this weekend during an FBI-led search of Biden's Wilmington, Delaware, home.

Assistant U. S. attorney Joseph D. Fitzpatrick confirmed to Fox News on Saturday that the search took place on Friday, and that it was both "planned" and "consensual."

"This is very concerning here," Comer said.
