White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain is expected to leave his post within the next few weeks after two years working for US President Joe Biden.
Political pressure is mounting on the President over the discovery of classified documents as Democrats push for an investigation into the scandal to be ramped up.
Two Democratic Senators, Tim Kaine and Joe Manchin, say they want to see the classified documents investigated with more urgency. It comes as President Biden’s approval rating has dipped to around 40 per cent, near the lowest of his presidency.
