US President Joe Biden downplayed the uproar over the discovery of old, classified, classified documents stored inappropriately among his private possessions, saying, "There's nothing there," and he feels no remorse about his handling of them.

On the other hand, the United States began implementing a new program to receive refugees, and Biden urged every American to contribute to their care in order to increase their number, which is very small.

In detail, the US President said the day before yesterday that he "does not feel any remorse" about his dealings with secret documents that were found in his former home and office, adding that he believes that the matter will be resolved.

"I think you won't find anything," Biden told reporters while inspecting damage caused by a storm in California.

I have no regrets.

I'm doing what the lawyers told me to do.

This is exactly what we do.

There is nothing there.'

In response to a question about this subject put to him by reporters, Biden replied: “Listen, we found some documents .. that had been stored in the wrong place and we immediately handed them over to the Archives Department and the Ministry of Justice.

We are fully cooperating and looking forward to resolving this quickly.”

He added, “I think you will find that there is nothing there.

I have no regrets.”

After the media leaked information about this case, the White House acknowledged last week that files dating back to the period when Biden was vice president under Barack Obama (2009-2017) were found in one of his former offices in Washington and at his home in Wilmington. In Delaware, some of it was in his garage.

Prior to this, his aides found another set of secret documents at his residence, and at a think tank in Washington with which he was connected.

And the White House had criticized the Republicans, considering that they were showing “artificial anger” in the case of the secret documents that were found with Biden, stressing that the latter is cooperating with Congress only with regard to inquiries based on “good faith.”

The case is embarrassing because Democrats have directed a lot of criticism of former Republican President Donald Trump, who is under judicial investigation for keeping more than 100 confidential documents in his home in Palm Beach, Florida, despite his departure from Washington in 2021.

And US Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that he had appointed an independent prosecutor to investigate the case of the documents found with Biden, just as he did in the same case facing Trump, in order to dispel suspicions of double standards.

On the other hand, America has launched a new program to receive refugees and contribute to their care in order to increase their number.

Under this, any American citizen will be able for the first time to sponsor a refugee in the United States directly without going through an association or non-governmental organizations.

"The reception is the most innovative refugee program in four decades," Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said in a statement.

He said the goal in the first year is to get 10,000 Americans into the program to host about 5,000 refugees.

Any American or initially any group of five who wish to sponsor a refugee must;

To undergo extensive security checks, and to provide evidence of their financial ability to bear it.

And President Joe Biden decided that the United States could receive during each fiscal year starting from October 125,000 refugees, which is much more than what was allowed by former President Donald Trump.

But the United States is very far from that. In the first three months of fiscal year 2023, it received only 6,750 refugees who were approved to settle in the country built on immigration.

"The difference here is that the program will apply to refugees from different countries of the world, and aims to settle them permanently in the United States," said a senior diplomat - who requested anonymity -.
