The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is searching the beach home of President Joe Biden in connection with the search for classified documents.
Multiple media reports said FBI agents are on the premises of Biden’s vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
“Today, with the President’s full support and cooperation, the DOJ is conducting a planned search of his home in Rehoboth, Delaware …Under DOJ’s standard procedures, in the interests of operational security and integrity, it sought to do this work without advance public notice, and we agreed to cooperate,” Biden’s personal attorney Bob Bauer said in statement. “The search today is a further step in a thorough and timely DOJ process we will continue to fully support and facilitate. We will have further information at the conclusion of today’s search,” the statement continued.
On January 22, an FBI search at President Joe Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, unearthed more classified documents.
Biden’s handling of classified documents came into focus earlier this month after reports said sensitive classified documents from the time he served as the Vice-President were found at the offices of his think in Washington. The materials found stashed in the private office included some top-secret files that hold the designation of ‘sensitive compartmented information. This designation is given to documents that contain information garnered from intelligence sources.
According to the Justice Department, some 30 classified documents have been found from Biden’s properties. The documents have been handed over to the National Archives.
