Biden appointed Chung to a top Pentagon position serving as assistant to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, where she has access to the nation's most sensitive military secrets.
GOP lawmakers leading an impeachment inquiry of Biden want to get their hands on the call sheet and the transcript of Biden's conversation with the Ukrainian leader, because the conversation took place around the time Biden pressured him to fire a Ukrainian prosecutor investigating a Ukrainian oligarch who was paying his son Hunter millions of dollars to sit on the board of his energy conglomerate, Burisma Holdings.
"Can you pls put note on the docs he [Biden] was asking about to highlight it," Chung wrote the military aide, who replied, "They just went up [to Biden] and the document said for VP eyes only." FBI investigators were able to confirm with the CIA that the Iran "EYES ONLY" package Chung secured and filed for Biden was the same manilla envelope of materials recovered from the Penn Biden Center.
Regarding the unlawful retention of the Iran documents, Hur asked Biden about his 2015 meeting with senators over the Iran nuke deal and his CIA briefing notes during his two-day interview with the president last October.
As the guardian of his files, Chung helped Biden research the book, "Promise Me, Dad." It's not known if Biden or Chung referenced any of the materials from the boxes in the original manuscript of his book, which was published in November 2017 and revealed insider accounts of Biden's various roles in U.S. foreign policy, including Ukraine.
In February 2017, about a month after Biden left office, Hur said Biden discussed a classified memo on Afghanistan with Zwonitzer while they met at his McLean, Va., rental home.
In effect, Hur exonerated Chung and Biden over the highly classified documents that were stashed in closets, credenzas, and cabinets at the Penn Biden Center.
