A few days ago, secret documents were revealed that were found in the office that Joe Biden used before his presidency, and then on Wednesday, investigators also found classified documents in another place, in the president’s garage.
The White House also confirmed the latter According to the BBC. It was reported that documents were found in Wilmington, Delaware, classified as classified from the Obama administration.
Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president, explained in a statement how the documents were obtained.
“Attorneys for the president searched the president’s residences in Wilmington, Delaware and Rehoboth Beach, other places where documents from the vice president’s office may have been moved during the 2017 transition period.”
US President Joe Biden said on Tuesday that he was surprised by the discovery of the documents and that he was cooperating with the Justice Department’s investigation. He appeared publicly on Thursday to talk about the US economy and the inflation situation, but was expected to be asked about the increasingly uncomfortable issue.

When he finished speaking, he was asked what he knew about the classified documents. A reporter asked him what he thought of the documents being found next to the Corvette.
According to Biden, the documents were in a locked garage, “not on the street. People know I take classified materials seriously,” he replied, then confirmed he was cooperating with investigators.
The president said he had files in his personal library and the documents found would be handed over to the Ministry of Justice.
“My attorney also reviewed other locations where documents from my time as Vice President were stored and completed the review last night. A few classified documents were discovered in storage areas and filing cabinets in my home and personal library. That is what happened with the Biden Center,” Biden said.
The president was going to take more questions, but he quickly left the briefing, only responding briefly to what his wife was feeling after her skin cancer surgery. According to Biden, the five-hour operation was successful, the melanomas were removed, and there is a 0-1 percent chance that the cancer will return.
The issue of classified documents is also interesting because Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump, is also under investigation for a similar but more serious case. The former US president kept thousands of documents, including many classified, classified and top secret documents, some of which may have contained nuclear secrets.
