On Thursday’s episode of “The View,” Joy Behar suggested that Republicans had planted classified documents in Joe Biden’s home and office to aid the former president, Donald Trump. Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said that the act of Biden doing this was wrong, while Sunny Hostin added to the conspiracy theory by asking Whoopi Goldberg if she thought Republicans were “behind” the documents found at Biden’s residence. Goldberg then responded by saying that it is possible these documents were taken during the transition.
This discovery led to the appointment of a special counsel being announced by Attorney General Merrick Garland. Investigative journalist Paul Sperry reported that Joe Biden was now under a federal criminal investigation led by Robert Hur as Special Counsel. The news sent shockwaves across the United States, prompting further speculation from all sides regarding what implications this could have for the current president and his administration.
Joy Behar firmly believes that President Trump has been extremely lucky and his success in avoiding retribution for his alleged activities have only been compounded with this new development. Her co-hosts questioned why it took so long for these documents to be found, given their highly sensitive nature. Whoopi Goldberg argued that people need to wait and see what this means before passing judgement on Biden for potentially committing similar offences as Trump.
CNN also reported that two additional special prosecutors had been appointed as part of an effort to investigate Joe Biden more thoroughly on potential mishandling of these classified documents. This news has understandably caused immense concern among those who support Biden, as well as those opposed to him, with many wondering if he will be able to survive politically if the investigation reveals any wrong-doing on his part or on behalf of members of his team.
