United States federal police found no confidential documents during a search of President Joe Biden’s beach house in Delaware (east), a lawyer for the president said on Wednesday, after previous searches of other properties of his looking for improperly stored classified papers.
The president’s personal lawyer made the announcement about three hours after reporting that Justice Department agents would search Biden’s home in the Rehoboth resort this morning. “No document was found with mention of classified”Bob Bauer said in a statement at noon.
He added, however, that investigators took “to further review some documents and handwritten notes that appear to date from his time as Vice President” of Barack Obama (2009-2017). At the beginning of the day, Bauer had said in a statement that the search was done without “prior public notice” and “with the full support and cooperation of the president”.
“Today’s search is one more step in a thorough and timely Department of Justice process that we will continue to fully support and facilitate,” he said. The president often spends weekends at his family home in the city of Wilmington, Delaware, or, less frequently, in Rehoboth.

Since November, a series of confidential documentswhose exact number and content is unknown, They were found both in an office that Biden held between 2017 and 2020 at a think tank in Washington and at his home in Wilmington. These documents date back to Biden’s time as Obama’s vice president and his previous three decades in the Senate, during which he dealt extensively with foreign policy.
According to the White House, Biden’s problem stems from accidental errors storing documents from a decade ago. But he has been slow to report the findings and has referred to them with little precision, speaking in a variable way of documents, pages or “items”. Details about the level of confidentiality of him were not disclosed either.
The Justice Department has appointed a special prosecutor to investigate these findings, embarrassing for the Democratic president because they evoke the case of official files brought to Florida by his predecessor, Republican Donald Trump, upon leaving the White House in 2021. he also appointed a special prosecutor for the Trump case.
United States law requires presidents and vice presidents to transfer all their official documents, communications, and other memoranda to the National Archives. Former Trump Vice President Mike Pence also revealed at the end of January that a “small number of documents marked ‘confidential’”.
The investigation of the documents could pose the biggest obstacle to the presidential aspirations of both Biden and Trump, who also faces other judicial investigations.
Indeed, the trickle of revelations has been a drag on Biden, who said he “intended” to run again for the 2024 elections and that he would announce his decision earlier this year. (YO)
