DOJ Finds Six More Classified Memos in Search of Biden Home

The Justice Department found six new classified documents inside President Joe Biden’s Delaware home during a search by government lawyers, the president’s attorney announced Saturday night.

The discovery during a day-long search Friday marked the fifth time since November that classified materials have been found in an office or home of the 46th president.

“DOJ requested that the search not be made public in advance, in accordance with its standard procedures, and we agreed to cooperate,” Biden personal attorney Bob Bauer said in a statement.

“DOJ had full access to the President’s home, including personally handwritten notes, files, papers, binders, memorabilia, to-do lists, schedules, and reminders going back decades,” he added. “DOJ took possession of materials it deemed within the scope of its inquiry, including six items consisting of documents with classification markings and surrounding materials, some of which were from the President’s service in the Senate and some of which were from his tenure as Vice President. DOJ also took for further review personally handwritten notes from the vice-presidential years.”

The six memos found Friday are in addition to 11 classified documents found at the Biden home in Wilmington, Del., beginning on Dec. 20.

In addition, more classified documents were found at the Penn Biden Center in Washington back on Nov. 2.

The discoveries have transformed the politics of a scandal that first started with the discovery of documents with classified markings in former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, which prompted an FBI raid.

Biden slammed Trump as irresponsible, only to  see the controversy boomerang around on him with the discovery of classified materials in his own possession at insecure locations.

As recently as Friday Biden was trying to minimize the discoveries, saying there was “no there, there.”

But after the new search on Friday, congressional Republicans immediately seized on the revelation that even more documents had been found.

“I guess there wasn’t nothing there there, Mr. President,” Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., tweeted Saturday night in mocking derision.
