Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) suggested that classified documents found at President Joe Biden’s residence may have been “planted.”

Speaking to reporters outside the Capitol, Johnson called for further investigation into revelations that classified documents were being held in Biden’s garage.

He cast doubt on the situation, saying the timing was suspicious and speculating that Biden may be the target of malicious actors.

“My response to it all is that alleged classified documents showing up allegedly in possession of Joseph Biden, you know, I mean, there’s so much that needs to be investigated, and that’s what I call for is for everything to be investigated,” Johnson said.

“But I’m suspicious of the timing of it. I’m also aware of the fact that things can be planted on people. Places and things can be planted. … Things can be planted in places and then discovered conveniently. That may be what has occurred here. I’m not ruling that out. But I’m open in terms of the investigation — needs to be investigated,” he said.

Johnson has been in the news before for more outlandish claims; in 2010, he raised concerns to a Navy commander over an increase in people on the island of Guam. He said he feared the island would capsize if too many people were on it.
