ANOTHER BATCH OF CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS.
Joe Biden’s aides have found at least one additional batch of classified documents in a location separate from the Washington office he used after leaving the White House under the Obama administration.
The first batch of classified documents was found at Penn Biden Center.
It is unclear when or where the second batch was discovered by Biden’s aides.
NBC News reported:
Aides to President Joe Biden have discovered at least one additional batch of classified documents in a location separate from the Washington office he used after leaving the Obama administration, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Since November, after the discovery of documents with classified markings in his former office, Biden aides have been searching for any additional classified materials that might be in other locations he used, said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to provide details about the ongoing inquiry.
The classification level, number and precise location of the additional documents was not immediately clear. It also was not immediately clear when the additional documents were discovered and if the search for any other classified materials Biden may have from the Obama administration is complete.
Biden aides have been sifting through documents stored at locations beyond his former Washington office to determine if there are any other classified documents that need to be turned over to the National Archives and reviewed by the Justice Department, the person familiar with the matter said.
The search was described as exhaustive, with the goal of getting a full accounting of all classified documents that may have inadvertently been packed in boxes when Biden cleared out of the vice president’s office space in January 2017.
On Monday it was revealed that top-secret intelligence documents with “Sensitive Compartmented Information” designation related to Ukraine, Iran, and the United Kingdom were found at Penn Biden Center in DC.
On Tuesday, Biden said he was “surprised” to learn there was classified materials at his private office.
“I don’t know what’s in the documents,” Biden said.
