President Joe Biden is forming a task force to address the issue of classified documents being mishandled during presidential transitions, following a special counsel report that found he had willfully kept such material after he was vice president.
The Presidential Records Transition Task Force will evaluate current policies and procedures and identify best practices for a transition to “address the inadvertent removal of classified documents and to help prevent it from happening in the future,” according to a White House fact sheet.
