There is something super strange going on with Joe Biden already, but the strangeness did not just start recently at all. In fact, it has been going on for years, but since he is now in the office of president, people are wanting to know what secrets he has been hiding.
One question that many people have asked is why are his Senate records closed?
What is exactly in them that they need to be hidden?

Thankfully, we are not the only ones that want to know this.
Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton wants to know, and thanks to a new country victory he just got closer to finding out.
“Biden has a secret deal to keep every single one of his Senate records from the American people (including communications with Putin!)… @JudicialWatch just got a nice court victory over this corruption:” Fitton said.
The closed files were donated to the University of Deleware back in 2012 and likely cover Biden’s 36-year career in the Senate.
However, under an agreement with the former vice president, the University of Delaware has said it will not release the record until two years after Biden retires from public life.
That is incredibly interesting, wouldn’t you say?

Fitton believes that as well and says he finds it “unusual”.
Why is Biden and the University of Delaware going through so much trouble to withhold these records?
“I encourage Vice President Biden to intervene and release these records,” Fitton said, arguing the university has no legal right to withhold the files from the public.

Judicial Watch reports that the Delaware Supreme Court ruled yesterday that the University of Delaware must provide more information justifying its decision to keep secret its deal to house and restrict access to the U.S. Senate records of President Joe Biden. The Delaware Supreme Court reversed the Delaware Superior Court and found that the University of Delaware had not carried its burden justifying its refusal to produce records. The case returns to the Delaware Superior Court for further proceedings.
In January 2021, Judicial Watch filed an appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court, asking for a reversal of the opinion of the Delaware Superior Court, which blocked a state FOIA request for access to records about President Biden’s senatorial records held by the University of Delaware. Biden’s papers include more than 1,850 boxes of archival records from his Senate career.
In yesterday’s opinion, Delaware Supreme Court ruled that the state’s open records law requires the University must provide additional information, under oath, to justify its refusal to produce records about its dealings with Biden:
[U]nless it is clear on the face of the request that the demanded records are not subject to FOIA, the satisfaction of Section 10005(c)’s burden of proof requires a statement made under oath. Such a reading of the statutory text is also supported by the statute’s purpose. FOIA safeguards a democratic society by ensuring the meetings and records of governmental entities are available to the public….
Therefore, if a public body is to deny citizens an opportunity to “observe the performance of public officials and to monitor the decisions that are made by such officials,” the public body must satisfy its burden of proof under FOIA in a manner that tracks the seriousness of the statute’s purpose and policy. Statements made under oath, such as through a sworn affidavit, accomplish that goal; they bear earmarks of reliability and instill a measure of seriousness in the affiant by subjecting the affiant to the risk of penalty of perjury.
Thank goodness Judicial Watch is fighting for these – God knows I’ve never heard a GOP politician mention them, have you?
There’s something in there they don’t want us to see, so they’ll do whatever they can to keep them hidden.
