A “small number” of Obama administration documents with classified marking were found in President Joe Biden’s Wilmington home, the White House said Thursday.
In a statement released on Twitter, Special Counsel to the President Richard Sauber said the documents were found during a search for documents in Biden’s two Delaware homes.
“All but one of these documents were found in storage space in the president’s Wilmington residence garage. One document consisting of one page was discovered among stored materials in an adjacent room,” Sauber said.
No documents were found in Biden’s Rehoboth Beach residence.
Sauber said the Department of Justice was “immediately notified” about the find, and Biden’s lawyers arranged for DOJ to take possession of the documents.
The White House says the search was completed Wednesday night.
It’s unclear why Biden’s homes were just being searched now. Sauber acknowledged earlier this week – following a CBS News report – that some classified documents had been found in a Washington, D.C. office that had once been used by Biden back on November 2.
