Republicans on Tuesday demanded to know why the fact President Joe Biden had classified documents from when he was a vice president at his think tank wasn't revealed until after the midterm elections with one calling it a ‘cover-up.'
‘When you cover up something before an election,' Republican Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska told reporters on Capitol Hill Tuesday morning ‘that is probably a point that needs to be highlighted.'
The White House announced late Monday that Biden's lawyers discovered 10 classified documents in his former office at a Washington think tank on November 2.
That was six days before the midterm election, where Republicans won control of the House but not by the landslide many had predicted.
The announcement of such a discovery likely would have been a political explosion in the election akin to the FBI announcing in 2016, eleven days before the election, the discovery of additional Hillary Clinton emails.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: Impeach Joe Biden for Mishandling Classified Documents, ‘Vice Presidents Cannot Declassify Docs'
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said President Joe Biden should be impeached for mishandling classified documents reportedly related to Ukraine and Iran dated between 2013 and 2016.
Greene explained the stark difference in Biden's mishandling of documents compared to the alleged claim that former President Donald Trump safely stored documents at Mar-a-Lago.
"This is a very serious situation. Vice presidents cannot declassify documents. And the fact that Joe Biden is in possession of classified documents when he was vice president, signals we need to have a serious investigation into this," Greene told C-Span.
"There is a true two-tier justice system stemming from the department of justice in the way President Trump has been treated - who is allowed to classify and declassify documents. Presidents can do that," she said.
"I'll echo again, impeach Biden," she added.
