After months of pressure from Senators Mark Warner and Marco Rubio, the "Gang of Eight," a bipartisan group of congressional leaders who oversee the intelligence community, have been granted access to the classified documents found in the homes of President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump, and former Vice President Mike Pence. This comes after the FBI removed over 100 classified documents during a search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in August, and classified documents were also found in Biden's home in Delaware over several months in the winter, with the FBI retrieving documents from Pence's home in January. The Gang of Eight began receiving the documents last week, with the Biden administration providing access to the documents in tranches rather than all at once. Senators Warner and Rubio argued that the lack of transparency on the documents was hampering Congress's responsibility to conduct oversight of the intelligence community. The senators and other lawmakers were concerned about potential national security risks if the documents fell into the wrong hands and if proper mitigation protocols were followed.
