As reported by Fox News Digital in an exclusive statement, a shocking discovery was made this week at one of President Biden’s Delaware homes.
White House lawyers announced on Thursday that a batch of classified documents was found in the garage of one of the President’s homes, sparking immediate concerns over his handling of classified information.
The White House Counsel’s Office searched both of Biden’s residences in Rehoboth Beach and Wilmington, Delaware, after revelations about a collection of Obama-era classified documents being found at a think tank in Washington.
This new discovery is causing growing scrutiny for Biden and his administration, as the White House is now fully cooperating with a Justice Department investigation.
White House lawyers have stated that they immediately contacted the DOJ when they discovered the documents this week, but there has been no indication of what the documents contain or whether Biden or anyone else read them after leaving office as Vice President.
“Lawyers discovered among personal and political papers a small number of additional Obama-Biden administration records with classified markings.
All but one of these documents were found in storage space in the President’s Wilmington residence garage,” White House lawyers wrote in a Thursday statement. “One document consisting of one page was discovered among stored materials in an adjacent room.”
This is not the first time that classified documents have been found in connection to the Biden administration. The first collection was found at the Washington offices of the Penn Biden Center, a Biden-aligned think tank.
It’s clear that the Biden administration has a serious problem when it comes to handling classified information. This discovery echoes revelations from last year that former President Donald Trump had housed a trove of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida after leaving office. The FBI ultimately raided his residence to recover some 300 classified documents.
Biden and his team have ignored multiple shouted questions from reporters about his handling of classified documents. Members of the press shouted questions about the new DOJ investigation after Biden concluded his bilateral meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, but Biden and Trudeau remained silent and stared at the press corps impassively as staff escorted reporters out of the room.
It’s clear that the Biden administration has a lot of explaining to do, and Republican voters are rightfully concerned about the handling of classified information by the Democrats.
The American people deserve transparency and accountability from their leaders, and it’s time for the Biden administration to come clean about their handling of classified documents.
