After months of feuding with the Biden administration, the "Gang of Eight" is finally getting access to the classified documents it sought, per a report.
In a victory for Congress, the Biden administration began sharing the material last week that was recovered from the residencies and former office's of former President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden, and former Vice President Mike Pence with the Gang of Eight, a source told Puck News.
MARK WARNER WANTS 'MORE INFORMATION' ABOUT TRUMP AND BIDEN CLASSIFIED DOCS
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner (D-VA) and Vice Chairman Marco Rubio (R-FL) embarked on a months-long campaign lobbying for access. They were adamant that the panel needed to be able to access the documents to inform its oversight of the intelligence community.
Warner and Rubio accused the Biden administration of stonewalling their requests. Warner previously said "all things will be on the table" appearing to hint at a potential subpoena of the intelligence community if it continued to drag its feet.
"We need more information about these documents. And more importantly, we need to [learn about] what the intel community has done to mitigate the harm. And we're still in conversations with the Justice Department," Warner told CBS's Face the Nation last month.
Last year, the National Archives and Records Administration recovered 15 boxes of material from Trump and quickly discovered content with classification markings. It then relayed the matter to the Justice Department, which opened a review. Authorities have since recovered over 300 documents with classified markings from Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, per court records.
Special Counsel Jack Smith was appointed to spearhead the DOJ's review of the situation and investigation of potential violations of the Espionage Act or obstruction of justice. Trump has denied wrongdoing and contended that a president can declassify files even by thinking about it.
Then, earlier this year, reports emerged that Biden's team found sensitive documents from his vice presidency days at a think tank and at his residence in Delaware. Special counsel Robert Hur was appointed to examine the situation. Classified files also surfaced at Pence's residence in Indiana.

Both Rubio and Warner insisted that their oversight will not foil the DOJ's criminal investigations surrounding the classified files. They have also asked the Director of National Intelligence to conduct a damage assessment of the situation.
The Washington Examiner contacted a spokesperson to the panel for comment.
