Ted Cruz calls for search of Biden papers at University of Delaware

​Sen. Ted Cruz has demanded authorities go through President Biden’s papers held at the University of Delaware after more classified material dating back to Biden’s time in the Senate was discovered at his Wilmington residence last week.

“The next step in this scandal is going to be, OK, if Biden’s Senate documents include classified documents outside of classified settings — which is illegal — how many more classified documents are illegally in his Senate papers?” the Texas Republican said Monday on his “Verdict” podcast.

Cruz said the university, Biden’s alma mater, has more than 1,800 boxes from his 36 years in the Senate.

The lawmaker added that the school “presumably” does not have an SCIF — a sensitive compartmented information facility required to view the most highly sensitive of classified documents.  

“During the 2020 campaign, there was a concerted media effort to try to get access to those documents. In particular, there were allegations of sexual harassment raised against Joe Biden, and the media wanted to examine the documents on those allegations of sexual harassment. The University of Delaware has said, nope, they’re not releasing the documents to anybody until two years after Biden retires from public life,” he said.
