FBI conducts a search of President Biden’s Delaware home in probe of classified documents

Classified documents probe leads FBI to search President Biden’s Delaware residence.

The President’s personal lawyer said that the FBI was conducting a planned search on Wednesday of President Joe Biden’s Rehoboth Beach, Delaware home as part of its investigation into the potential mishandling of classified documents. The probe follows a 13-hour, top-to-bottom review of his Wilmington, Delaware home on January 20, when agents located additional documents with classified markings and took possession of some of his handwritten notes.

The President has been voluntarily allowing the Justice Department into his residences as investigators seek to determine how classified documents from Mr. Biden’s time as Vice-President and a Senator wound up in his home and office. The probe followed the November 2 discovery of documents with classified markings by Mr. Biden’s lawyers as they closed up an office at the Penn Biden Center, a think tank affiliated with the Ivy League school.

Under DOJ’s standard procedures, in the interests of operational security and integrity, it sought to do this work without advance public notice. We agreed to cooperate,” said Mr. Biden’s lawyer, Bob Bauer. “The search today is a further step in a thorough and timely DOJ process we will continue to support and facilitate fully. We will have additional information after today’s search.
