Federal law enforcement in the United States began a search Tuesday of President Joe Biden’s beach house in Delaware, his lawyer said, in the latest stage of an operation to track down improperly stored classified documents.
The search in Rehoboth, which attorney Bob Bauer said was done “with the president’s full support and cooperation,” followed similar searches that turned up small numbers of documents in Biden’s home in Wilmington and a former office space in Washington, DC.
The first secret documents turned up in Joe Biden’s former private office and home back in November, but it was January before the White House publicly admitted the embarrassing discovery — under pressure from a steady drip of media revelations.
Since then, searches of the president’s home have uncovered several more sets of classified files in a snowballing affair threatening to overshadow the Democrat’s expected announcement that he will seek a second term in 2024.
