a venture full of hardships, dangers, and death. magellan journey around the world starts january 19th. ah ah ah, this is dw news life from berlin. joe biden comes under investigation for the 1st time as president. special council is appointed to look into biden's handling of classified documents. after lawyers find more files at his home, also coming up more heavy fighting in the battle for solar ukrainian forces

continue to put up resistance. ah, i'm ami and isa welcome to the program. the u. s. justice department has appointed a special council to investigate after more classified documents were found at present biden's, delaware home. earlier this week, reports emerged at secret documents had been found in november in an office that biden used after his time as vice president by law, the classified documents should have been given back to the us national archives after he left office. the discoveries are politically embarrassing for biden, after his sharp criticism, a former president, trump legend was handling secret documents by that says he's cooperating with the investigation. people know, i take classified documents, classified material seriously. i also said were cooperating fully incomplete with

the justice department's review. as part of that process. my lawyers reviewed other places, word documents and my i'm of from my time as vice president were stored and they finished the review last night they discovered a small number of documents of classified marketing, storage areas and file cabinets in my home. in my, in my, my personal library. let's go live now to washington d. c, to speak with political analyst lives. shaka, thanks for joining us. so what do we, what more do we know about these documents that were found and especially what level of classification? so right now they're saying there is a very small number of documents with classified noting on them. interestingly, some of these were found as earlier stated in a think tank in dc. and some of them are found in his delaware home, in his garage near his corps, are beds, and none were found at the rehab beach house, which is considered in and out as official. i'm so it's kind of what we have right

now. aside from what bite has already said that he's cooperate, it's his team who has found these and turn them over, and they're hoping that helps a public image. right, and this is become a political issue, especially because biden's called trump irresponsible when it came on investigation for keeping similar similar documents as primary residence. so what is the difference here? there are a lot of really notable different says among them. again, this is the word coming from biden's can't, but it's a very small number of documents. trump out at over $300.00 humans. at his residence in florida as well. by was the one that found it. his team found them alerted. the archive is the proper protocol who alerted the income reverse. trump the archives discovered it themselves and years later, and went to trump, who did not cooperate. and in fact, you remember that was very dramatic scene. i've been trying to get their hands back

on these documents. and again, this is where the difference comes from by can't be presenting, hey, we're not only cooperating, we're being proactive, and that's what sets us apart. so it's a small number of documents, but that would still technically classify as a violation if it were true. and it just seems a little bit surprising. the biden did not discover this documents before the investigation into trump. how can we explain that? you know, i think by this campus going to come with it was an honest mistake. they get as so many documents. i can't imagine what 8 years of government classified documents must have looked at the sheer volume as well. he's saying these are mixed in political and personal documents. so aids that help to wrap up the vice president's office could have them in with other political documents. they were supposed to take to the think tank, not paying close attention to the classified notation. so there's a lot of way for,

it's just human error, and that's, i'm sure the angle they're going to try to say. and i'm wondering how common this is, is said that it could just happen under air, or a lot of clerks have access to the transporting these documents. so would you say the problem is larger than biden, and trump that a lot of politicians are actually taking these classified documents? that is a very good question. if we go all the way back, it wasn't documents. but the question of hillary clinton working in our home and using a server there and i think especially as we do for we look forward to, to government employees doing a more hybrid work from home situation. is this going to be something i think this definitely speaks to what a need for revamped security and trading about what is the classified document, what can the, the building, what can't. but i also think it talks about paperwork. we're talking about legislators. their job is to re page it bills and reports with thousands of pages.

and so we just use a massive amount of error, a space for error. and so briefly, do you think this will have political follow up for biden, or do you think the button case in the term case will kind of cancel each other out? there are a lot of factors that are different as we discussed. and one of the biggest things going in by in favor is that this is almost 2 years out from the election and an entire year out for the primaries start. the downside is the american voter doesn't always like nuance. he just gave the republicans their greatest talking point, as well as really need to have the democrats often against trump. so it's a, it's a long enough runway. it might become a lesser issue in the next year. but it definitely will be something i think we'll be hearing again from the republicans as they gear up to take him on in 24. ok. political analysts list. she'll go in washington. thank you. thank you.
