six new classified documents found in Joe Biden’s residence

Joe Biden is again faced with finding secret documents in one of his family’s residences. “The Ministry of Justice has taken the documents (…) within the scope of its examination, including six elements consisting of documents” classified, during a search conducted on Friday 20 January at the home belonging to the American president in Wilmington, in the State of Delaware, indicated in a press release issued on Saturday 21 January to Bob Bauer, his personal attorney.

Advisers to Joe Biden determined that the dossier in question corresponds to two phases of the 80-year-old Democrat’s political life: on the one hand, his long career spanning more than thirty years as a senator from Delaware, and on the other, his serving as vice president to Barack Obama, between 2009 and 2017.

Joe Biden and his wife were not present during the search. They also spent the weekend at their home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. The US president’s personal lawyers previously searched the Rehoboth Beach residence and said they found no official documents or classified records.

Dropper revelation

Nevertheless, this new discovery, on Friday, adds to a series of disclosures that have left the White House in a very vulnerable position. Joe Biden, through his attorneys, acknowledged on January 9 that classified documents had been found as early as November 2022 at a think tank in Washington, where he is based. Then the Democratic president admitted on January 12 that other sensitive files had been found at his Wilmington home.

However, a 1978 law required the president and vice president of America to send all emails, letters, and other work documents to the National Archives.

This case was extremely embarrassing for the American president, who plans to declare himself a presidential candidate in 2024. He, during a trip to California a few days ago, tried to minimize the protests around the discovery of these documents.

“Listen, we found some documents (…) stored in the wrong place, we immediately handed them over to the Archives and the Ministry of Justice”Joe Biden told reporters who asked him about it. “I have no regrets”he insisted.

Unlike Donald Trump

His lawyers assured on one hand that it was over “oblivion” than 46^e The President of the United States took these sensitive files, and also stressed that he fully cooperates with justice.

“From the start, the President has committed to handle this responsibly because he takes this seriously,” he said said Saturday, White House attorney Richard Sauber. “Attorneys for the President and the White House Office of Counsel will continue to work closely with the Department of Justice and Special Counsel to help ensure this process is carried out quickly and efficiently.”he added.

The White House goal is clear: to differentiate itself as much as possible from former President Donald Trump, who has started a new race for the White House. The billionaire is being investigated for bringing several boxes of official documents to his residence in Florida.

If the two cases aren’t entirely comparable, the subject remains a dangerous one for Joe Biden, who presents himself as a strict, rule-abiding president.

In Donald Trump cases such as that of Joe Biden, the Justice Department, eager to avoid accusations of bias, entrusted investigations of classified documents to special prosecutors.
