A defiant President Joe Biden said Thursday that he had “no regrets” and expected the classified document scandal currently roiling the administration to “be resolved quickly.” He told reporters trailing him on a tour of California storm damage: “We found a handful of documents were filed in the wrong place.

There’s no there, there.” The White House has faced withering criticism in recent days for its lack of disclosures about the case, especially among Republicans and right-wing media.
