Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Mark Warner (D-VA) joined together to call for information about the documents recovered from the possession of President Joe Biden.
Warner and Rubio, the chairman and vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, respectively, previously expressed concern over the lack of transparency from the Justice Department regarding the investigations into the improper handling of classified documents by former President Donald Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and Biden. On Wednesday, the pair amplified their concerns, warning of greater consequences if greater transparency was not granted.

Warner said that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence's position on the matter “does not pass the smell test — the administration and the director’s current view about giving this committee access to the classified documents that we have every right to see in terms of our oversight role. This trust relationship has to go two ways."
“A special counsel cannot have veto authority over Congress’s ability to do its job,” Rubio said. “This is going to be addressed one way or the other.”
Warner threatened to cut support for a warrantless surveillance program if the DOJ continued its flakiness in regards to cooperation.

Other senators expressed similar frustration, including Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), who warned that “some of us are prepared to start putting our foot down” if the intelligence agencies didn't cooperate.
The DOJ claimed that the special counsel investigations limit its ability to share information about the documents.
