New search of Biden’s home turns up more classified documents

Officials in the United States have discovered six more classified documents during a new search of President Joe Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, according to a lawyer.

Some of the classified documents and “surrounding materials” dated from Biden’s tenure in the US Senate, where he represented Delaware from 1973 to 2009, the president’s personal lawyer, Bob Bauer, said in a statement on Saturday.

Other documents were from his tenure as vice president in the Obama administration, from 2009 through 2017, Bauer said.

The level of classification and whether they remained classified was not immediately clear.
