WASHINGTON — The Justice Department found six items containing classified information during a Friday search of President Joe Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, his personal lawyers said on Saturday.
The search, conducted by FBI agents and which lasted more than 12 hours, also turned up notes from Biden’s time in the Senate and vice presidency. They mark the latest classified documents found in Biden’s possession, a matter that poses political and legal risk for the president.
Last week, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the appointment of a special counsel to investigate the discovery of the classified documents at a think tank office Biden used after serving as vice president, as well as in two areas of his house in Wilmington.
