BREAKING: DOJ, FBI Probing Classified Docs From Biden’s Vice Presidency Found At Biden Think Tank, Report Says

Attorney General Merrick Garland has reportedly assigned the U.S. attorney in Chicago to review classified material from President Joe Biden’s time as vice-president that was discovered at a Biden think tank.

CBS News reported the discovery of the documents at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement (Washington) by approximately 10 people.

The files were discovered by Biden’s personal attorneys when they “were packing files housed in a locked closet to prepare to vacate office space at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C.”

The attorneys stated that the information was found in a container with other materials that weren’t classified.

Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president, said that the moment the material was found – on November 2nd – that the White House’s counsel’s office immediately notified the National Archives and the material was retrieved the next day.

After learning of the classified material, National Archives alerted DOJ. The FBI is also involved.

“The discovery of these documents was made by the President’s attorneys,” Sauber said. “The documents were not the subject of any previous request or inquiry by the Archives. Since that discovery, the President’s personal attorneys have cooperated with the Archives and the Department of Justice in a process to ensure that any Obama-Biden Administration records are appropriately in the possession of the Archives.”
