Aides to President Joe Biden on Thursday evening found additional classified documents at his Wilmington, Del., home, the White House announced Saturday.
The additional information was discovered and reported earlier this week and turned over the Justice Department, according to Ian Sams, a special assistant to the president in a statement.
The announcement follows just days after Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed former U.S. attorney Robert Hur as special counsel to investigate the storage of the documents.
“The president’s lawyers have acted immediately and voluntarily to provide the Penn Biden documents to the Archives and the Wilmington documents to DOJ. We have now publicly released specific details about the documents identified, how they were identified, and where they were found,” said Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president. “The appointment of the Special Counsel in this matter this week means we will now refer specific questions to the Special Counsel’s office moving forward.”
