6 more classified documents found in Joe Biden's home

US Department of Justice (DoJ) investigators have found six more classified documents during a 13-hour search of President Joe Biden's home in Delaware, a lawyer for Mr. Biden says.

Some documents seized at the Wilmington property on Friday were from his time as a senator and others from his tenure as vice president under Barack Obama.

Attorney Bob Bauer said "personally handwritten notes" and "surrounding materials" were also taken.

Mr. Biden and his wife were not present.

The president provided access "to his home to allow the DOJ to conduct a premises-wide search for potential vice presidential records and potential classified material," Bauer said in a statement Saturday.

Former President Donald Trump is facing a criminal investigation into the misuse of classified files.

Earlier this month, Mr. Biden's lawyers said the first set of classified documents had been found on Nov. 2 at the Penn Biden Center, a think tank the president founded in Washington, DC.

A second set of records was found Dec. 20 in the garage at his Wilmington home, while another document was found in a storage space at the home on Jan. 12, his attorneys said.

After finding the documents, the president said his team immediately turned them over to the National Archives and the Department of Justice. It is not clear why Mr. Biden had kept them.

Under the Presidential Records Act, White House records are supposed to go to the National Archives once an administration ends, where they can be safely stored.

A special counsel, Robert Hur, has been appointed to lead the investigation into how the sensitive documents were handled.

The lengthy search and subsequent disclosure of more documents is a political headache for the president as he prepares to declare whether he will run for a second term in 2024.

Mr. Biden and his wife, Jill, are spending the weekend in the coastal town of Rehoboth Beach in Delaware, where they own another home. He was searched earlier this month and no documents were found, his lawyers said, according to the New York Times.
