Bob Bauer, personal attorney for US President Joe Biden, said on Friday that Justice Department investigators, after conducting a search of President Joe Biden’s home in Delaware, unearthed six more classified documents from materials it considered as part of its investigation, including six items consisting of hashtaged documents and related material, some from the president’s service in the Senate, some from his tenure as vice president, and the Department of Justice also took handwritten notes from the vice president over the years to continue the review.”
The six items are in addition to materials previously found at Biden’s Wilmington residence and in his personal office.
Bauer noted that representatives of Biden’s personal legal team and the White House Counsel’s office were present during the “comprehensive search” in which they gained “full access” to Biden’s home.
He added that the Ministry of Justice “asked not to announce searches in advance, in accordance with their standard procedures, and we agreed to cooperate.”
Presidential Special Adviser Richard Sauber said in a statement that neither Biden nor First Lady Jill Biden were present at the search.
Sauber wrote that Biden is “seeking to take this issue responsibly because he takes it very seriously, and he and his team are working quickly to ensure that the Justice Department and the special counsel have everything they need to conduct a comprehensive review.”
