Dems 'want answers' on Biden documents, Rep. Porter says: 'Classified documents belong in classified settings'
Democrats want answers from the White House regarding stashes of classified documents improperly held by President Biden since the Obama administration, Democratic Rep. Katie Porter of California said.
Porter, speaking with reporters after a town hall event Tuesday, was asked about her role in the House Oversight Committee and the ongoing investigation into Biden’s illicit storage of classified documents at his private residence, inside his garage, and in the office of his think tank.
“So I definitely think that we want to get answers from the White House,” Porter said.
Porter, however, wouldn’t say if she will sign on to a request from Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer for records related to the classified documents.
“I don’t know if that document request – I have not reviewed the line by line of the request that Chairman [James] Comer made – but I definitely think we want answers. Classified documents belong in classified settings, and I think you heard me say oversight is not a partisan thing. Good oversight means you’re willing to hold any rule breaker to account.”
Comer, a Kentucky Republican, sent a letter Sunday to White House chief of staff Ron Klain requesting more documents and communications related to the discoveries of multiple Obama-era classified documents in several locations at Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, and the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C.
Porter went on to say there has been “much broader abuse of classified information” by former President Donald Trump.
“I don’t have all the facts about President Biden’s classified information,” Porter continued. “We don’t have all the facts, sadly, because of obstruction yet about President Trump’s much broader abuse of classified information. But we should be asking for answers in a respectful way, and we should be expecting to get honest ones.”
Biden again ignored reporters’ questions on Tuesday as they tried to get him to address the classified documents from his time as vice president that were recently found at his Delaware home and the Penn Biden Center.
Biden had a meeting with Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte, and after the two leaders delivered brief remarks, reporters began hurling questions at the president. They were all met with silence.
The same thing happened three times last week. First, Biden refused to answer questions about the documents on Monday, Jan. 9.
Then the following day, Jan. 10, the president did not acknowledge questions after his meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Two dead, 1 critically injured after shooting inside Philly takeout restaurant
Philadelphia police are investigating a shooting that left two people dead, and one in critical condition.
The shooting happened at a Chinese takeout restaurant on the southwest side of town at 11:28 p.m. Tuesday.
When police arrived on the scene, they found three people lying on the ground in the customer waiting area of the restaurant, Chief Inspector Scott Small told FOX 29 Philadelphia.
All three victims – a 43-year-old woman, a 20-year-old man and a 19-year-old man – were bleeding heavily and unresponsive from gunshot wounds. Police had all three taken to a hospital for treatment.
The 19-year-old man was shot multiple times throughout his body and was later pronounced dead at 11:37 p.m., while the 43-year-old woman, who was shot in the shoulder, was pronounced dead at 12:08 a.m., Small said.
The 20-year-old man was also shot multiple times and remained in extremely critical condition. He has not regained consciousness, and is “not expected to make it,” the FOX 29 reporter at the scene tweeted.
2 SHOT DEAD AND SEVERAL INJURED, INCLUDING 12-YEAR-OLD, IN PHILADELPHIA ON MLK DAY: POLICE
Investigators found 16 spent shell casings on the scene, with eight of them being found outside the restaurant and another eight inside the area the three victims were found.
Police say all three victims lived within a block of the business at 54th Street and Chester Avenue.
Surveillance video from the area captured two suspects running away after the shooting.
Investigators are working to learn if one or more of the victims were targeted. At this time, the motive for the shooting remains unknown.

Meticulous (YC S21) Is Hiring #3 Founding Engineer in London
Hey HN,
I’m Gabriel, founder of Meticulous.
Our mission is to make the world’s code safe, performant and reliable. We’re starting with a tool to catch visual regressions in web applications with zero-effort from developers.
How it works: Insert a single line of JavaScript onto your site, and we record thousands of real user sessions. We then replay these sessions on head and base commits of PRs, take screenshots at key points, and diff those screenshots to catch visual regressions before they hit production. We employ novel techniques to eliminate flakes. You can watch a 60-second demo at [meticulous.ai](http://meticulous.ai/).
We are a London-based YC company. Our engineering team previously worked at Dropbox, Opendoor, Palantir and Google, and have previously led 100+ engineer organizations at these companies. We just raised $4m, and are backed by some of the best founders and technical leaders in Silicon Valley, including Guillermo Rauch (founder Vercel, author next.js), Jason Warner (CTO GitHub), Scott Belsky (CPO Adobe), Calvin French-Owen (founder Segment), Jared Friedman (YC partner and former CTO of Scribd) and a bunch of other incredible folks.
Catching visual regressions is just the start. There is an entire category of products to build on top of replay. This ranges from catching exceptions to revealing the performance impact of frontend code.
We want to change the way the world develops software, and influence software approaches for decades to come.
We are seeding a London office and hiring an onsite (few days per week) founding engineer to join our team of four.
You will have autonomy in building out this technology, but here are a few problems you might work on:
– Build a distributed system to concurrently replay thousands of sessions, such that a developer gets a result in seconds.
– Speed up the replay of sessions in a way that retains determinism.
– Derive algorithms to detect sessions that cover differing code paths and edge cases, and ignore sessions that are too similar.
– Help build out a team of world-class, highly collaborative, software engineers.
As founding engineer, you get to shape the company, and build the culture and technology from the ground up.
What we look for:
In a sentence: Technically brilliant, delightful to work with, combined with a self-awareness and strong desire to improve. We also want to make sure everyone is highly supportive of each other; we win as a team.
We’re currently only looking to bring on folks with senior level skill sets and 5+ years of industry experience. You should have strong web fundamentals and a deep love for software engineering. Maybe you enjoy programming books like Clean Code, Designing Data Intensive Applications, Pragmatic Programmer etc. or enjoy hacking on interesting side projects. You value transparency and candid feedback, and are motivated by a strong desire to become the best engineer you can be.
You can read about our values here https://sumptuous-lungfish-609.notion.site/Meticulous-values…
You will be given the space and time to up-level yourself as an engineer in terms of conferences, reading, or whatever you think will be most valuable. We will also set you up with mentorship, if you desire it, from top engineering leaders (folks running 100-engineer organizations at the world’s leading tech companies).
You’ll get to work alongside some of the best engineers there are, break new ground solving truly novel CS problems and deliver something that transforms how software is built.
If this sounds interesting, please reach out to me at gabe [at] meticulous [dot] ai with “HN” in the subject line and 2-3 sentences about what you find interesting about Meticulous and your resume/LinkedIn/GitHub.

Yellen to meet with Chinese counterpart in Switzerland day before US to hit debt ceiling
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will be out of the country this week as the U.S. is expected to hit its debt limit on Thursday.
The secretary is set to meet with China’s Vice Premier Liu He Wednesday in Switzerland to discuss macroeconomic developments and other economic issues. It will mark the first in-person meeting between the leaders and follows three virtual meetings, according to the Treasury Department.
On Friday, Yellen warned that unless Congress takes swift action, the government could be unable to pay its bills as early as June.
The debt ceiling is the legal limit on the total amount of debt that the federal government can borrow on behalf of the public, including Social Security and Medicare benefits, military salaries and tax refunds.
YELLEN WARNS THAT US WILL HIT DEBT LIMIT NEXT WEEK
In a letter addressed to the big four congressional leaders, Yellen said the Treasury Department will begin deploying so-called “extraordinary measures” to prevent the U.S. from defaulting on its obligation.
The emergency moves should give Congress until at least early June to raise or suspend the country’s current $31.4 trillion borrowing limit, she added.
“Failure to meet the government’s obligations would cause irreparable harm to the U.S. economy, the livelihoods of all Americans, and global financial stability,” Yellen said. “I respectfully urge Congress to act promptly to protect the full faith and credit of the United States.”

Michigan man who beat Indiana boy to death convicted of murder, other counts
A jury has convicted a Michigan man of murder and other charges in the beating death of a 3-year-old boy in Lafayette.
Jermaine Garnes of West Bloomfield, Michigan, was convicted of murder, neglect resulting in death, aggravated battery resulting in death and battery on a person under 14 resulting in death. The jury returned the verdicts Wednesday.
Garnes and his girlfriend, Crystal Lynn Cox, were both charged in August 2021 in connection with the death of 3-year-old Zeus Cox. The little boy was found dead on a bedroom floor with bruises on his chest, stomach and other areas of his body.

An autopsy revealed the 3-year-old died from multiple blunt force trauma injuries to his abdomen that ruptured the boy’s intestines and caused rib fractures and internal bleeding.
Cox was found guilty of murder, neglect resulting in death, aggravated battery resulting in death, and battery on a person under 14 resulting in death last May and was sentenced to 53 years in prison.
Garnes’ sentencing has not yet been scheduled.
