Arizona town's water cutoff - Russian mercenary defects - Biden classified doc battle

Source: Associated Press

1. Summary
   On Sunday the new chairman of the House Oversight Committee, GOP Rep. James Comer, requested visitor logs for President Biden's private residences. His request came after a set of classified documents was found at President Biden's home in Wilmington, Delaware. They were taken during Biden's time as vice president, and come after an initial discovery of a few documents at President Biden's office in D.C.
   
   The White House responded that there are no visitor logs to turn over. "Consistent with past precedent [...] his personal residence is personal," a spokesperson said. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has said that Congress may investigate the issue separately from the Justice Department.
   
   Biden's lawyers stress that they are cooperating with the law and that there are only a few documents, in contrast with the hundreds of files at Mar-a-Lago. However, the latest discoveries have raised questions as to the scope of the issue. The White House has also been criticized for not disclosing the news for weeks after the first documents were discovered.
