hello, welcome to the program, a special council house been appointed to investigate the discovery of classify government documents at u. s. president jo biden's home. now the 1st batch was uncovered 2 months ago. their existence was only made public on monday. the documents i believe, to be linked to biden's time as vice president. and i reported to include us intelligence linked to ukraine. iran and the united kingdom. the white house press secretary says bought and didn't know he had the documents and maintains he did everything by the book. now, biden has accused his predecessor, donald trump, being irresponsible off to classify documents were found at his residence in florida. republicans now accusing biden off hypocrisy a white house correspondent kidney hawk. it has a story the discovery of a 2nd batch of classified documents. this time inside the garage of president jo biden's, private residence,

has made it difficult for binding to quell this latest political controversy. people know, i take crossfire documented classroom material seriously. whitehouse lawyers revealed the documents for found recently and relate to biden's time as vice president under president barack obama. the white house lawyers and says they immediately turn the documents over to the national archives. still, the department of justice is appointing us attorney robert her, a special counsel to investigate whether biden broke the law. i will ensure that mister her receives all the resources he needs the conductor's work. the white house insist it's cooperating and is denying any impropriety. it's in the statement of her from his lawyer, richard, somber, and at the end, he said, we are confident that they are a thorough review will show that these documents were inadvertently misplaced, still, it's in administration under increased scrutiny earlier this week,

while biden was at a summit in mexico, the white house admitted lawyers found similar secret papers and a washington d. c. think tank called the pen biden center. the president says he doesn't know what's in those documents, but the discovery has prompted charges of hypocrisy. in january 2022 classified documents were found at the florida residents of former president donald trump. a justice department special council is also looking into that case. biden has called trump totally irresponsible from his handling, but classified materials, another foe, paul, by the, by the administration, but treating lot differently based upon your political beliefs, treats one president trump one way, but treats president by the whole different way. president biden's republican critics are also questioning why it took so long for the biden administration to

reveal the existence of the documents. the 1st batch was discovered on november 2nd just days before the congressional mid term election. it only became known to the public this week. kimberly helped al jazeera, the white house as go straight to my county. his line for us in washington dc might get to see so many questions still about this whole biden saga around these documents. we had, we had today that the special council robert her has now been appointed. who exactly as he am, where does the investigation go from here? robert hurst tourney general in maryland, who was appointed by then president donald trump. he left that post and he's been working in the private sector before being singled out by mary garden to be the special counsel in this investigation into the classified papers that were found in

biden's property. now the special council will, will report back to the attorney general. the attorney general then decides whether or not to make that report public and what further action to take. so essentially it's all in the hands of the special counsel, the whole investigation that will be carried out in the coming days, possibly weeks. that then goes to the attorney general to decide what action to do next. so there is supervision of the special counsel at the same time. he's given a great degree of latitude in terms of what he needs to do to get to the bottom of the case. that's exactly the case with jack smith, who's a special council who garland appointed to investigate the classified documents found on donald trump's properties. there is a 3rd special counsel in existence at present. that one was appointed by donald trump, all by the then attorney general william bar to investigate the origins of the

russian interference in the election case. so you've got 3 special counsels out there. 2 of them dedicated to finding out about the classified papers found on the property of the present president and the former one. mike, how is the live going down with the republicans? i mean, whatever the facts, the biden document case, the saga as a gift to the republicans, surely. well, we heard there the republican saying that it was he puck receive that president biden was very critical of donald trump when papers were found at his residence. however, there's an element of advocacy on the part of the republicans as well. they've been saying that the special counsel investigation into donald trump is unacceptable. and yet, at the same time, urging these special counselor destination into the biden's administration. so that is a degree of duplicity on the part of the republicans in terms of this. also, the comparison between these 2 cases are very different,

although they both deal with classified documents being found on the property of each individual. in the biden case, it was reported immediately to national archive. it was then reported by the national archive to the f. b. i who carried out an investigation. each tranche of papers that were found, it was made in immediately available to the national archive. and the justice department in trump's particular case, he was off for months to give up classified documents. he refused to do so. and that culminated in the raid on maro laga said the circumstances of these cases are very different. the republicans argue that that is not the case, but what is emerging from all of this is the beginnings perhaps of a bipartisan attempt to review how previous presidents handle classified documents once they leave office. because this shows something deeply disturbing about what is done with these documents after they leave the post. okay,

my canada 1st in washington dc. thank you. and bruce fina is a former us associate deputy attorney general. he says biden should wave some of his presidential privileges to help restore trust in the political system. you'll notice that mary garland, the attorney general, said that the special counsels got to comply with the policies of the department of justice. well, there's one policy which has been around for a long time when i was there, but i wasn't it since supported that says you cannot indict or prosecute an incumbent president. and in fact, when mr. trump was being investigated by mr. miller, he didn't answer questions that were raised by him. he said he would only respond to things that he did before he was president, or they didn't push it. they didn't subpoena here. if we really want to restore trust in the system, i would hope that mr. biden would waive all of these privileges,

he would waive the department of justice policy, which is not enshrined in the constitution and says, i'm an open book. ah, he crane says it's forces. it's still holding on to the some town of solid. ok, but fighting is tough. that is despite the russian mastery, wagner group saying is taking control of the town. the criminal has warned against declaring a victory prematurely suggesting that the fighting is not ova. ukraine has said the battles in this area have been some of the bloodiest in this war. so far. e rush washing is face in the solid, our direction the back most to spot the difficult situation. ukrainian soldiers, a desperately 14 rusher, is trying to break through al, to fence lines without any luck to capture soul at all. and the enemy has high losses. the area or outside the city is covered with the bodies of potions troops.

was here 2 and a half, 3 months ago. and it's fair to say that the situation has dramatically changed since day. and i mean, we used to go down this road and into buck moved, then it is a lot louder, a lot more heavy shelling than then. we've actually been speaking to soldiers this morning who beat inside buck mood and asking them about the situation in both moot and solid. they said to us that russian forces were in the center of solely dog. they said that they were in control of that salt mine. they described russian tanks in the center of solid r as well. they said that they were concerns appropriate studs that there are concerns among the ukrainian forces about possible escape routes for the grinding forces inside solid. all he said they were trying to do was protect a western route out of the town. we've been speaking to some of the soldiers behind
