President Biden’s lawyers found more classified documents at his home in Wilmington, Delaware, the White House acknowledged Saturday.
White House counsel Richard Sauber said in a statement that six pages of classified documents were found during a search of Biden’s private library.
The latest revelation adds to the discovery of documents found in Biden’s garage and in his former offices at the Penn Biden Center in Washington. They correspond to the time when he was Obama’s vice president.
The issue is being investigated by a former federal prosecutor, Robert Hur, appointed special counsel last Thursday by Attorney General Merrick Garland.
New classified documents found in Biden’s personal garage revealed
Sauber said in a statement Saturday that Biden’s personal attorneys, who did not have security clearance, stopped their search after finding the front page Wednesday night. Sauber found the remaining material Thursday while facilitating its recovery by the Justice Department.
“While I was transferring it to Justice Department officials with me, an additional five pages with classification marks were discovered, for a total of six pages,” Sauber said. “The Department of Justice officials who were with me immediately took possession of those documents.”
On Thursday, when reporters were asked if Biden could guarantee that no additional classified documents would be found in an additional search, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said: “You have to assume that it’s completed, Yeah”.
