Washington. The case of the classified papers that US President Joe Biden kept irregularly at his home and in his office when he was vice president continues to get complicated, after the White House confirmed the discovery of more documents.
For the third time in a week, the White House had to explain a case that could complicate the last two years of President Biden’s term before the next 2024 presidential election, which he has not confirmed if he runs.
Through a statement, the White House reported that on Thursday new documents were found in one of the mansions he has in Delaware (USA), classified papers from the time he was vice president (2009-2017) of Barack Obama.
Specifically, there are five additional pages with classification marks that were found Thursday by a White House attorney, Richard Sauber, who searched the Wilmington residence after personal attorneys on Wednesday found a document in a room adjacent to the garage. .
Since they did not have the authorization to continue the search, they stopped searching the property and Sauber, a White House attorney with authorization, came the next day and found the documents in a new search.
In the search he was accompanied by officials from the Department of Justice, who “immediately took possession of them,” reports the White House about this investigation process that began in November, after several documents were found in a house of the president and in his office of the think tank Penn Biden Center.
The news comes two days after the United States Attorney General, Merrick Garland, announced the appointment of a special prosecutor who will study all the classified papers that are being found, the conservative lawyer Robert Hur.
The US attorney general made the announcement after the White House and Biden himself confirmed the discovery of new documents on Thursday.
In a press conference, the president briefly referred to the case and assured that the incident will be resolved: “Everything will be cleared up, I’m sure,” he pointed out an event that is reminiscent, although with many differences, of the classified papers found. at former President Donald Trump’s mansion.
