The US president, Joe Biden, assured that he is convinced that the conflict generated by the classified documents that have been found in his private residence it will be solved. “Everything will be cleared up, I’m sure”the president pointed out after the White House has confirmed that Biden’s lawyers have found new classified documents from the time he was vice president (2009-2017) in one of his houses in Delaware (USA).
The president made these statements at a press conference called to assess the inflation data known this Thursday, after which the journalists shouted at the president: “Secret papers next to your Corvette, what was I thinking?“. “Let me talk about all this and by the way, my Corvettes are in a closed garage, not on the street. But as I said earlier this week, people know that I take classified material seriously,” Trump said.
A few hours after the press leaked it, the White House confirmed this Thursday, with a statement signed by the lawyer Richard Sauber, that the legal team of the Presidency made a search, in collaboration with the Department of Justice, in the residences of Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. The lawyers discovered political and personal papers along with a series of classified documents. All but one were found in a storage space in the garage of Biden’s Wilmington residence, while one, a single page, was found in an adjacent room.
Nothing was discovered at the beach house, Sauber said. “We are fully cooperating with the Justice Department’s review.”Biden said, and, as with the first batch of documents found in the offices of the Biden Penn Center, the Justice Department “was immediately notified” and took possession of the documents.
The find in the think tank took place last November although it was not disclosed until the beginning of this week. Therefore, today’s the second such reveal this week. The reason for these searches, the content of the documents and who decided to send them to those places is unknown. This Wednesday, the White House spokeswoman, Karine Jean-Pierre, refused to answer questions from journalists about why the government had not informed before the discovery of the documents, which occurred days before the midterm elections of the November 8th.
Jean-Pierre limited himself to saying that the matter is being investigated by the Department of Justice. Last August, the FBI searched the residence of former President Donald Trump (2017-2021) in Mar-a-Lago (Florida) searching for a series of classified documents. Unlike what has happened with the Biden documents, which were handed over to the authorities by the president’s own team, in Mar-a-Lago the intervention of the Department of Justice was necessary to recover the documents.
