Again, Biden's Home In Delaware Searched By US Authorities
President Joe Biden

Federal law enforcement in the United States began a search Tuesday of President Joe Biden’s beach house in Delaware, his lawyer said, in the latest stage of an operation to track down improperly stored classified documents.

The search in Rehoboth, which attorney Bob Bauer said was done “with the president’s full support and cooperation,” followed similar searches that turned up small numbers of documents in Biden’s home in Wilmington and a former office space in Washington, DC.

The first secret documents turned up in Joe Biden’s former private office and home back in November, but it was January before the White House publicly admitted the embarrassing discovery — under pressure from a steady drip of media revelations.

Since then, searches of the president’s home have uncovered several more sets of classified files in a snowballing affair threatening to overshadow the Democrat’s expected announcement that he will seek a second term in 2024.

Recall that a search last week had discovered no fewer than six more classified documents during a new search of the President.

According to a lawyer, some of the classified documents and ‘surrounding materials’ dated from Biden’s tenure in the US Senate, where he represented Delaware from 1973 to 2009.

This was confirmed by the president’s personal lawyer, Bob Bauer, in a statement on Sunday morning.

Other documents were from his tenure as vice president in the Obama administration, from 2009 through 2017, Bauer said.

The level of classification and whether they remained classified was not immediately clear.

The search on Friday was carried out by officials from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and lasted more than 13 hours, according to Bauer. It came more than a week after Biden’s lawyers found six other classified documents in the president’s home library from his time as vice president, and nearly three months after lawyers found a small number of classified records at his former offices at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, DC.
