FBI has more classified documents in search of US President Biden’s home found. This was announced by Biden’s attorney. These are six documents from Biden’s time as vice president and his time in the Senate, when he represented the state of Delaware.
In addition to the documents, notes dating from the time of his vice-presidency were also seized. It is unclear how sensitive the contents of the documents are and whether they remain secret. More than a week ago, confidential documents were discovered in the garage and library of Biden’s home. Prior to that, it was reported that secret papers had been found in Biden’s private office in Washington.
