Congressional Leaders Granted Access to Classified Records from Biden, Trump, and Pence.

American intelligence agencies have begun providing leaders of the House and Senate access to copies of the classified documents found in the possession of former President Donald J.

The materials are being shared exclusively with the so-called Gang of Eight, which includes the leaders of both chambers and the chairmen and ranking members of the two congressional intelligence committees, who hold the highest-level security clearances in Congress.

Committee leaders have been granted access to them on a rolling basis.
