Ted Cruz says it’s ‘critical’ for FBI to search Hunter Biden’s home for classified docs

Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, speaks during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Tuesday, March 8, 2022. 

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said on Wednesday that the FBI should search Hunter Biden’s home and business for possible classified documents.

Cruz made the comments during his “Verdict” podcast on Wednesday, which comes after classified documents were found at President Biden’s private office at the Penn Biden Center and Wilmington, Delaware home.

“The FBI needs to search and investigate to determine whether there are any classified documents at Hunter Biden’s home or business,” Cruz said on his podcast. “The FBI doesn’t need to sit on its rear end for days and weeks and months and let someone put those documents in a shredder. They need to show up tomorrow and search Hunter Biden’s home and office. If we care about protecting classified documents and understanding what Joe Biden has done, we need to do that immediately.”

Cruz said that White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre should be asked “does Hunter Biden object to an FBI search of his home and business?”

Classified documents were also found at Biden’s private office at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C. on Nov. 2, 2022, and more classified documents were found inside his Wilmington home on Dec. 20, 2022.

Biden’s personal attorney Bob Bauer said in a statement that six items consisting of classified documents were found on Jan. 20 at Biden’s Wilmington home during a search by the FBI.

“At the outset of this matter, the President directed his personal attorneys to fully cooperate with the Department of Justice,” Bauer said. “Accordingly, having previously identified and reported to DOJ a small number of documents with classification markings at the President’s Wilmington home, and in the interest of moving the process forward as expeditiously as possible, we offered to provide prompt access to…
