The White House has acknowledged the discovery of additional classified documents at the home of President Joe Biden in Wilmington, Delaware.
In a statement Saturday, White House lawyer Richard Sauber said that a total of six pages of documents marked as classified were found during a search of Mr. Biden’s private library. Sauber said that Biden’s personal lawyers, who did not have security clearances, stopped their search after finding the first page on Wednesday evening.
The latest disclosure is in addition to the discovery of documents found in December in Mr. Biden’s garage and in November at his former offices at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, from his time as vice president. The White House had said previously that only a single page was found there.
The apparent mishandling of classified documents and official records from the Obama administration is now under investigation by a former Justice Department official. The investigation is being conducted by the National Archives and Records Administration, which is responsible for preserving and managing government records.
The White House has not provided any details about the documents or the investigation. It is unclear whether the documents were classified at the time they were found or if they were marked as classified after the fact. It is also unclear whether the documents were related to Biden’s time as vice president or his current role as president.
