The document scandal is extremely embarrassing for Biden, as he has previously criticized his predecessor Donald Trump for the irresponsible storage of secret material at his Mar-a-Lago apartment.
US Department of Justice investigators have found the president Joe Biden six new classified documents from the home.
Biden’s lawyer tells about it. According to him, Biden asked representatives of the Department of Justice to search his entire home in Delaware in case new classified documents were found in the apartment. In the search conducted on Friday, documents were found, some of which are from the time when Biden was president Barack Obama’s as vice president. In addition, researchers found documents from the time when Biden served as a senator.
During the document searches, the president and his spouse were not at home, says the lawyer.
Classified documents were found in Biden’s home already last week. Earlier, ten documents were found in the president’s former office in Washington.
Attorney General of the United States Merrick Garland has appointed a special prosecutor to investigate the document findings.
