President Biden’s aides found other classified documents dating from the Obama administration at a second location associated with Mr. Biden, according to a person familiar with the situation.
It is not clear where or when the documents were recovered.
Mr. Biden’s aides have been scouring various places since November, when his lawyers discovered a handful of classified documents, which included briefing materials on foreign countries, when they were closing a think tank office in Washington.
The new revelation is sure to intensify Republican attacks on Mr. Biden, who has called former President Donald J. Trump irresponsible for hoarding sensitive documents at his private club and residence in Florida.
On Tuesday, Mr. Biden told reporters in Mexico City that he was “Surprised” to learn in November that his lawyers found classified government documents in his former office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement.
The Justice Department review, undertaken by the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in Chicago, is aimed at helping Attorney General Merrick B. Garland decide whether to appoint a special counsel, like the one investigating Mr. Trump’s failure to return all of the sensitive documents he kept at Mar-a-Lago, according to two people familiar with the matter.
