President Joe Biden’s personal lawyer says the Justice Department has searched the president's home in Delaware and located six documents containing classification markings.
FILE - President Joe Biden speaks in the East Room of the White House to mayors who are attending the U.S. Conference of Mayors winter meeting in Washington, on Jan. 20, 2023. The Justice Department has searched Bidens home in Delaware and located six documents containing classification markings and also took possession of some of his notes, the presidents lawyer said Saturday, Jan. 21.
On Thursday, Biden maintained that “there’s no there there" on the document discoveries, which have become a political headache for the president and complicated the Justice Department's probe into former President Donald Trump's retention of classified documents and official records after he left office.
The Justice Department, he added, “took possession of materials it deemed within the scope of its inquiry, including six items consisting of documents with classification markings and surrounding materials, some of which were from the President’s service in the Senate and some of which were from his tenure as Vice President."
