let's talk about what's going on inside that biden white house, those classified documents, and specificallye from biden's white house team, which some have called late or slow or fumbling in some cases. i'm curious. you have talked to a lot of these folks. did you expect a different response from the seasoned team around the president? chris: well, it's a little bit surprising, given how well this white house is run normally. but i spent two years talkin with almost all of joe biden's inner circle. and there's more drama behind closed doors than you might expect. this was certainly true during the first year with the bungled exit from afghanistan. certainly, the second year has been much more successful for joe biden, with his rallying the west against vladimir putin in defense of ukraine and pasng a really impressive legislative agenda. so i think he goes into his third year really with the wind at his back. amna: specifically, to these documents, though, now, among the people you have talked to is bob bauer, i believe, who is representing the president as his personal attorney on this iss

let's talk about what is going on inside that biden white house. classified documents and specifically, the response from biden's white house team, which some have called late or slow hour fumbling in some cases. you have talked to a lot of these folks. did u expect a different response from this seasoned team? >> it is a little bit surprising given how well this white house is run normally, but i spent two years talking with almost all of joe biden's inner circle, and, you know, there's more drama behind the closed doors then you might expect. this was certainly true during the first year with the bumbled it from afghanistan. certainly the second year has been much more successful for joe biden with his rallying the west against vladimir putin and -- in defense of ukraine and passing a legislative agenda, so i think he goes into ththird year really with the wind at his back. >> specifically with these documents, you talked to the president's personal attorney on this issue. what do you see as the biggest challenge for him? >> i think the real chall

the biden white house doesn't put out a statement until saturday night. these mistakes and missteps add up to the point where the press really has turned against joe biden and his team? >> well, it has been a disastrous embarrassment for this administration and this white house. nine days ago they told us at the white house that the search had been completedded. trust us, we got it. we sat on it for two months, but it's over. the next day we learned about more documents, and it's like groundhog day, a week later we're doing the same hinge this weekend. it's a complete mess. and i think president has made it worse on multiple occasions for himself. he's not being really fort coming in any meaningful way. peter doocy was able to bait him into giving the corvette answer in the garage which was not a good look for the president. and in the clip we just played of the president saying he has no regrets and there's no "there" there. with all due respect, there's already thereto -- "there" there. and if they say as they have over and over again, the president tak

a lot of people in the press defended the biden white house on all the hunter biden questions republicansave had. i think you can say some people in the white house were not prepared for substantive questions, how many documents are there? what did they do? why did the president leave them there? what is going on? they simply tried to deny it or say okay, this is everything, we told you everything when in fact they had not. lauren: yeah. byron york, thank you very much for the time. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> and the democrat congressman adam schiff is also weighing in on the documents. watch here. >> you raised a possibility of national security assessment. is it possible that national security was jeopardized here? >> i don't think we can exclude the possibility without knowing more of the facts. we asked for an assessment in the intelligence community of the mar-a-lago documents. i think we ought to get that same assessment to the documents found in the, in the think tank as well as the home of president biden. i would like to know what these documents were. i would like to kno

the white house is responding about what trump said. what are they saying? >> reporter: the biden we don't always hear a direct response from this white house to the predecessor on issues like this. but this stood out where, of course, they say that the right of reporters and a free press is a bedrock to democracy and the constitutional rights of reporters must be protected. so part of what the statement from deputy press secretary anthony bates says calling for an egregious abuses of power in order to suppress the institutional rights of reporters is an insult to the rule of law. that gives you a sense of the tone of how the biden white house is responding to the former president. of course, donald trump has a lot of influence on these events because his three nominees to the court, his appointees, strengthen that conservative bloc on the supreme court that led to the decision in dobbs that overturned the constitutional right to abortion. and so he feels a direct connection to that. at the same time there are people on the political right who believe that the leak may have been d

when it comes to the cooperation angle, it is clear that the biden white house is trying to influence the court of public opinion, to make that clear, this is different. but in terms of doj investigators, how much does that factor in, the cooperation of joe biden and his team in this case, ellie? >> pam, it's better to cooperate than not cooperate. by all appearances, joe biden's team is trying to cooperate. two things. first of all, they're cooperating quite ineptly thus far. this is the fifth separate batch of documents found in five separate locations between the residence and the office. that is just bad news for joe biden any way you put it. and the fact that joe biden's team is trying to cooperates does not wipe the slate clean. it doesn't mean, well, they're cooperating, hence no problem with the documents. this is a real problem. because it gets harder and harder, the more document that is are found, the more different locations, it gets tougher and tougher to write this off as an accident. we just heard the clip of joe biden saying, well, it was a small batch of documents tha

is it all about investigations, hunter biden, looking backward or about going to the white house and sn't elected by the democratic base. he was elected by a coalition, a lot of independents and disaffected republicans. again, joe biden doesn't govern by twitter, doesn't govern by what every far left-leaning democrat says. he's governed so far with a broad coalition. he's said to republicans, i'm willing to keep doing that. ball's in your court. >> he's governed by pretending the crisis don't exist. they claim the border is secure with a straight face. there's no evidence of that? just ask the border community. >> mike: olivia, one new reality for this white house will be congressional hearings, at least the house side of the building, and probably lots of folks getting dragged up to the hill. your thoughts on that? >> expect to see quite a few subpoenas starting to go their way. we know there will be investigations into the fbi, a broad swath. hunter biden. i know that different -- they'll want to look into the origins of covid. you'll be seeing a lot of republicans making up for wha

white house. we want to go to arlette saenz. arlette, what do you know? >> -- was conducted at president biden's residence in wilmington, delaware. a bit earlier this week, the white house counsel had said that on wednesday they had found an additional document in a separate room adjacent to the garage. at that moment, they said there was one document with one page. there is now a clarification that there were actually more pages included in that document with classified markings. now, this is a pretty detailed statement that we received from the white house counsel, still reading through it, but one thing they detail is in these searches that had been conducted, the personal lawyers do not have security clearances, so what they have done when they've come across something that might say classified, they've stopped their search and alerted the justice department that they have found some items that they may want to come retrieve. what's important to note is that the white house counsel, he actually went up to wilmington, delaware, on thursday evening to facilitate the transfer of these documents

i wonder how the biden white house feels about it this morning. >> yeah, you know, i can tell you the white house is certainly not doing some kind of public victory dance. but at the same time, when the pence news broke yesterday, i can tell you that there was sort of this sense of quiet relief. because keep in mind, the biden white house has really been under siege for the last couple of weeks. ever since we learned about the first batch of classified documents. you know, getting off all of these questions about how those documents possibly ended up in biden's office, in biden's personal home. why the nature of their disclosures have been so drip, drip, drip, in nature, and then of course the appointment of the special counsel, and yesterday when the pence news broke, there was sort of this sense that the temperature could potentially come down a little bit for president biden because this now becomes not only just a biden focused story, and i think there are essentially two hopes right now from the biden white house and biden allies. one is just this overall emphasis that it wasn't

of course, these goals coming out a very difficult time for president biden and this white house. enter 2023, really, with the wind at their back. the democrats doing better than expected in the midterms. president biden was expected to spend these next few weeks touting these bipartisan legislative accomplishments and then came the news of these discoveries of these classified documents. obviously, something the white house and president biden is dealing with with this new special counsel probe over the next few weeks and months, alex. >> all right, allie raffa there, thank you for that. let's go on to nbc's julie tsirkin -- who standing by on capitol hill for us. so julie, the republican-led house judiciary committee has big investigation plans. but what are we now hearing from the doj on how much they're going to cooperate? >> yet, jim jordan, the chairman of the house judiciary committee, just launch an official investigation into those classified documents last week. the department of justice is telling him, not so fast. in fact, i want to read you a part of this. they said,

breaking his house judiciary in-house gop oversight are going to probe an alleged white house cover-up and president biden'ssel they were trying to avoid that in the cover-up, also sources say house gop is talking subpoenas of white house officials and reports multiple locations are being probed. >> i've always felt this, and this is what we know we know it goes a lot deeper because we know the d.o.j. is trying to protect the president as much as possible. i'm very happy that congressman jordan in comer are going to look into this and it diving into it, there's a whole lotta things that we need to look at that president biden and their family and the business ties especially business ties to russia, china and ukraine and other areas and have this president could be compromised. >> some of the documents involved were top secret documents about ukraine and uk and iran and it's forcing the white house to disclose visitor logs and the secret service says they are not available we know there was a court ruling that merrick garland signed off on the president biden says he has his grandkids and they can be expose

joe biden, by contrast, is trying to do the opposite thing. but i think the white housery transparent" when this was known before the midterm elections in 2022. so if i were the biden white house, i would start underlining the word full cooperation and get rid of that word transparency, because they weren't transparent and it makes people suspicious. >> right, and it overshadows some of the key differences, right, between these two investigations. for biden, what we know, it's around approximately 20 documents. for trump, it's more than 300. and, you know, there is obstruction of justice investigation for trump. there's a lot of differences, but yet because they keep saying transparent, it makes you focus on the fact, hold on a second. you haven't quite been transparent. douglas brinkley, thank you so much. we'll be right back. ke, $11k. hmm. barista: order eleven! yeah, see you at 11. 1111 masters boulevard, please. gonna be eleven even, buddy. really? the clues are all around us! some things are too obvious to be a coincidence. dancing is everything. soccer is the best

the committees, comer put out a statement and he said that pence was more forthcoming than the biden white housend a letter to comer's oversight committee saying that they will work with them. so what's the difference and i think that's going to be the open question on the hill right now if house republicans can prove what is the difference between the two cases. >> sure, but let's look at this big picture, right? if you are an american voter, i mean this is starting to look like a big problem. like the biden sigh of relief i think is the one that says and, you know, now they're going to be calling all of the former vice presidents and presidents and seeing what is where, right? like clearly mistakes were made. probably in a different way in each one of these individual cases and we can all get down in the weeds in the details but the fact remains that people are -- have been exposed now because they have been reacting to this based on the jersey they're wearing for their political tribe and honestly there but for the grace of god go i and you and everyone out there and forget that all the time

the biden white house and the president as well as the president's attorneys have been forthcoming and even when you listen to what peter doocy said in his comments tells you how transparent how the white house is being. >> oh, my gosh. >> the president's lawyers -- excuse me, i let you finish, let me finish. they are telling you that their lawyers don't have top secret clearance, we are pumping the breaks and calling the justice department. you didn't get that from the trump administration or donald trump in mar-a-lago. i'm not saying the president is doing a good job here. >> trump is not the story. live in the now. >> i'm telling you -- >> gillian: richard, we have to leave it there. tony. you have a few seconds. >> thank you so much. the argument for transparency is not really a good one coming from you today, richard, and the idea that you are touting that the attorney general did his job by appointing a special prosecutor, i mean, we are now applauding the progressive left for doing their job, here you go.

questions and context here, so there's so much we don't know but it's a political jam for the biden white house >> peter, republicans reacted to what the secret service and white house was saying. >> just because they said it, you don't just take their word for it. we're talking about classified documents. we're talking about when the justice department clearly had the knowledge of this prior to the election and sat on it. >> i am not sure if they have formal record books or not, but we will have to seek it through testimony by family members or those who have been at the residents. >> i think there are a lot of questions that continue to raise and we want to get all the information possible. >> peter, based on your sources here, does it pay for the white house to go into battle with house republicans or participate in an investigation for them? by the way, we should remind people, members are trying to equate biden's situation to trump's at mar-a-lago. >> it will be interesting to see how the republicans are in handling the classified documents now, and they were not that interested when presi

told that initial heads-up relayed to president biden by a white house official and that subsequentlyn days ahead bauer then gave president biden a full briefing on the matter and laid out how he hoped to navigate the fallout of this. since then he has really been at the center of this strategy by president biden's legal team led by his lead personal attorney bob bauer that has focused on cooperating with federal investigators and trying to zero out biden's legal risk. at the same time it's drawn criticism for worsening the political and public relations woes president biden has faced. in reporting on this story, sources told us it's clear bauer ultimately, and this team, believes short-term pain is worth it if in the end run it leads to a positive legal outcome for president biden. i'm told today a source with the matter making more fulsome disclosures don't believe that would have lessened the public furor. the first statement, omitted news about classified documents found at the wilmington home talking about only those found at the penn biden center. >> bring the conversation back

but, i do think the white house needs to understand, republicans are not bluffing. they want a negotiation. for the bidenhite house to say, we won't talk to about this is not realistic. they need republicans in the house to vote to raise the stat limit. if there is pressure off their concerns, we will likely find ourselves in a crisis. >> sure, and corporate america is not bluffing if republicans go through with this, corporate america will pull all of their big donations win. the rest of the country has their 401(k) s, and retirement accounts plummet, if we do default, then they will also be losing those american votes. this could become a massive crisis. how can they tell the american people not, us and republicans. joe biden and, it's not necessarily fair, could be blame for this. he is the guy in charge right now. >> i think ryan's point to the exchange with him is so critical to this. those to washington could understand the debt ceiling, and the debt limit, and to the average american who might see their 401k crash, who might see the money they have worked so hard for go down the drain, it's going

they referred it to the biden white house. the biden white house after a day of hand wringing referred it to the national archives, which is not law enforcement. there's no indication that they wanted or expected that law enforcement was going to get this immediately. it was the inspector general of the national archives that reported this to the justice department. so it's not like they were like totally transparent. they found evidence of a crime and they said we better get this to the fbi and the justice department. that's not what happened. >> martha: so, you know, the language i think is interesting. it's a great point that you make, andy. they say over and over, we reported it right away. told the authorities. it went to the national archives. excellent point. they referred it to law enforcement. this is the difference between the language, mike. the finding of these classified documents is nothing more than a good faith mistake and that they were absolutely sure, you know, indicated by this general comment, that that's t
