The director of the FBI, Christopher Wray, has reprimanded Thursday those who have access to confidential material that they should be more «aware» of the rules, after, beyond Donald Trump, in recent weeks it has been revealed that the president of the United States, Joe Biden, and former Vice President Mike Pence had in their private residences this type of information.
«As is obvious, I can not talk about any specific investigation, but we have conducted, for quite a few years, a large number of investigations for this misuse,» Wray explained Thursday at a press conference, as reported by CNN.
«Unfortunately, it’s a frequent part of the work of our counterintelligence programs. People need to be aware of the rules about classified information and its proper use. Those rules are there for a reason,» the FBI director has said from the Justice Department headquarters.
For his part, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has preferred not to make any statements about the ongoing investigations following the discovery of such classified material in the private residences of President Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trump.
Garland has limited himself to pointing out that those in charge of the investigations are well acquainted with the Department of Justice and that he is «fully confident» that they will know how to resolve these matters following «the highest traditions of the department».
While Garland has appointed Jack Smith as special counsel to investigate the use of classified information by Trump and Robert Hur to do the same with the documents found on Biden, for the moment he will appoint another person for the case of former Vice President Pence.
