President Joe Biden admitted Thursday that he has "no regrets" for improperly retaining classified documents.

After touring areas of California ravaged by recent winter storms, Biden was confronted by Bloomberg News reporter Jennifer Jacobs about his classified documents scandal.

"Do you have any regret, sir?" Jacobs asked.

The question clearly frustrated the president. He said the issue "quite frankly bugs" him — that he would have to answer for retaining classified documents — and decried Jacobs for not asking him about weather events.

Jacobs followed up, "Do you have any regret, sir, that you did not reveal the existence of the documents back in November, before the midterms?"

"Look, we found a handful of documents that were filed in the wrong place. We immediately turned them over to the [National] Archives and the Justice Department. We're fully cooperating and looking forward to getting this resolved quickly," Biden responded.
