“The Department of Justice has acquired materials it considered to be within the scope of its investigation, including six items consisting of documents marked with hashtags,” he said in a statement.
Bauer also added that Biden and his wife were not present during the search, noting that the president allowed his house to be searched to verify documents dating back to his term as Vice President under Barack Obama (2009-2017).
The pages add to other documents found at the home in Delaware, according to what the White House revealed on January 12, and other documents found in his former office at a think tank in Washington.
“it’s not important”
Earlier, US President Joe Biden underestimated the importance of the uproar that arose following the discovery of old secret classified documents stored in an inappropriate form among his private property, saying: “It does not contain important information.”
In response to a question regarding this subject, put to him by reporters while he was on his way to California, on Thursday, Biden replied, “I think you will discover that there is nothing.”
After the media leaked information regarding this issue, the White House acknowledged last week that files dating back to the period when Biden was Vice President under Barack Obama (2009-2017) were found in one of his former offices in Washington and at his home in Wilmington. Delaware.
Biden’s defenders say that what happened is a far cry from the actions of former President Donald Trump, who is under investigation for his handling of classified documents.
Trump took hundreds of classified files from the White House to his home in Florida, and he resisted attempts by officials to retrieve the documents until a judge signed an FBI search warrant.
On the eighth of last August, the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump’s residence in Florida, and confiscated boxes containing thousands of secret documents that the former Republican president did not return when he left the White House despite repeated requests in this regard. Some of these documents are classified under defense secrets.
According to press reports, these secret documents contain sensitive information, especially regarding China and Iran, in addition to nuclear secrets.
