White House dogged by classified documents saga: Washington Photos of the Week

The discovery of additional classified documents at President Joe Biden’s Delaware home precipitated a tough week at the White House that’s been troubled by a special counsel investigation.

On the two-year anniversary of Biden’s presidency, the White House faced difficult questions on transparency and mishandling of classified materials from Biden’s vice presidency.

“I think you’re gonna find there’s nothing there. I have no regrets,” Biden insisted Thursday. “I’m following what the lawyers have told me they want me to do. It’s exactly what we’re doing. There’s no ‘there’ there.”

Meanwhile, thousands of anti-abortion activists flocked to Washington, D.C., for the first March for Life since the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade last summer. The crowd size and enthusiasm were on par with past years as marchers said their work is not done to end abortion in the United States.

Here’s a look at scenes from Washington captured by Washington Examiner photographer Graeme Jennings during the week of Jan. 16, 2023.
