Law professor Jonathan Turley says Biden should lift ‘bar on public access to the Delaware documents’

EXCLUSIVE: Legal scholar Jonathan Turley said Tuesday that President Biden’s classified documents debacle is further evidence he should release his Senate papers to the American public in the name of transparency.

Turley, a professor of public interest law at George Washington University and a practicing criminal defense attorney, shared concerns by Republican lawmakers that the documents from Biden’s time as a senator, which remain sealed at the University of Delaware, should be a top priority in investigating the president’s handling of classified documents. 

“I have previously said that the Delaware documents should be the priority,” Turley told Fox News Digital. “Biden has steadfastly refused to allow the public access to his Senate records.”

“Since the President is pledging transparency, he can start by lifting his bar on public access to the Delaware documents,” he added.

Several GOP lawmakers are calling for a search of Biden’s documents, which were gifted to the University of Delaware after he left the Senate to become vice president, after the FBI searched the president’s personal residence in Wilmington, Delaware, and found another batch of classified documents.

At least five troves of classified documents have been discovered in insecure locations at Biden’s Wilmington home and the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C.

Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., called for a search of the Delaware documents, telling Fox News Digital that the “American people are tired of the double standard and the two-tiered system of justice that is perpetuated by the current administration.”

“No stone should be left unturned and every single establishment that is associated with Joe Biden must be searched,” Van Drew said. “More documents are being revealed day by day, so they all must be examined in order for investigations to be thoroughly conducted.”
