Biden redeems us: six more secret documents in his Wilmington home
The Justice Department found "six items that consist of documents with classification marks" during a search Friday of President Joe Biden's home in Wilmington, Delaware, according to a statement released Saturday by the president's personal attorneys.
Notes from Biden's time as a senator and his tenure as vice president were also found, according to the statement by Biden's attorney Bob Bauer, which strategically begins with "we cooperated fully."
The search lasted from 9:45 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Friday, during which members of Biden's personal legal team and members of the White House Office of Counsel were present, according to the statement.
The DOJ also withdrew material "for further examination."
The new documents represent the latest development in the scandal of classified documents found in unauthorized locations used by Biden. The first batch of documents was discovered in early November, the day before the midterm elections, at the Penn Biden Center.
More classified documents were found at his home in Wilmington, Delaware, in December, and another set of documents was found at the same home earlier this month.
– In a 12+ hour search of Biden's home, the Feds found classified docs including FROM HIS TIME IN SENATE.
– Docs were found despite the WH saying that they turned over all docs a week ago.
– No video/photo of Feds/local PD standing around as done to Trump.

The Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Department officials had previously considered having FBI agents monitor a search for confidential documents by Biden's lawyers in his homes, but decided against it, both to avoid complicating the steps of the investigation, and because Biden's lawyers had quickly delivered an initial set of documents and were cooperating, the Journal reported this week.
Some law enforcement officials had discussed asking Biden's team for consent to have the property searched by the FBI. Officials did not take that step right away, in part to preserve their freedom to take a tougher line later, including by executing a search warrant, the Journal reported.
Instead, the two sides agreed that Biden's personal attorneys would inspect the homes, notify the Justice Department as soon as they identified other potentially classified documents, and arrange for them to be pulled by law enforcement. -Wall Street Journal
Kudos to Biden's lawyers who searched the house and said they found nothing. Had it happened to the Trump team, they would all have been arrested by the FBI.
