A new search of President Joe Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, by Justice Department authorities that lasted more than 12 hours on Friday found six more documents marked classified, the president’s lawyer said in a statement Saturday afternoon.
The document joins a group of other classified government records that were previously found this month at Biden’s Wilmington residence, and in November at the private office he maintained in Washington, DC, a think tank after ending his post as vice president in the Obama administration in 2017. .
Attorney General Merrick Garland earlier this month appointed a special counsel to investigate Biden’s retention of government records after he became vice president.
Former President Donald Trump is under criminal investigation by another special counsel for taking hundreds of classified memos and other government documents from the White House while out of office.
