Several classified documents from President Joe Biden’s time as vice president were discovered last fall in a private office, Biden’s attorneys acknowledged Monday.
Attorney General Merrick Garland has asked the US attorney in Chicago to investigate the matter, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN, and congressional Republicans are also taking notice.
Biden’s lawyers say they found the government materials in November while closing out a Washington, DC-based office – the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement – that Biden used as part of his relationship with the University of Pennsylvania, where he was an honorary professor from 2017 to 2019.
Fewer than a dozen classified documents were found at Biden’s office, another source told CNN. It is unclear what the documents pertain to or why they were taken to Biden’s private office. Federal officeholders are required by law to relinquish official documents and classified records when their government service ends.
“The White House is cooperating with the National Archives and the Department of Justice regarding the discovery of what appear to be Obama-Biden Administration records, including a small number of documents with classified markings,” Richard Sauber, special counsel to President Biden, said in a statement. “The documents were discovered when the President’s personal attorneys were packing files housed in a locked closet to prepare to vacate office space at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C. The President periodically used this space from mid-2017 until the start of the 2020 campaign. On the day of this discovery, November 2, 2022, the White House Counsel’s Office notified the National Archives. The Archives took possession of the materials the following morning.”

Six days before the midterms apparently.
But somehow the so-called “news” media wasn’t able to find room on their feeds to report it.
When will the FBI raid his residences? When will Democrats call for him to be rendered permanently ineligible to ever hold office again.
Oh, that’s right, if it weren’t for double standards, some people wouldn’t have any standards at all.
They were in an office that Wasn’t secure....IMPEACH NOW !
How often did Hunter Biden use this family office space to make foreign business deals, hold drug parties with young girls, have prostitutes visit...???
Funny, it has already morphed from a publicly accessed area to a locked office.
Ain't that the truth!
Lock his *** up!
Translation: "Attorney General Merrick Garland has asked the US attorney in Chicago to whitewash this".
As Biden was the VP at the time, he was subject to the Federal Records Act, not Presidential Records Act.
The media spin has already begun. "The difference between Biden and Trump is Biden immediately turned over the documents to the National Archives when they were discovered. Trump had to be sued and have an FBI raid to get the documents back."
I have a feeling this is going to be used to get rid of Biden and in addition be used to keep Trump from running. Congress might use it as an excuse to keep him off the ballot. Time will tell.
FBI: “..PARTY at Joe’s house! …fellas, we’re going to DELAWARE!.. Woo-HOO!!!”
Yeah. Right…
The beginning of the end for “Joe...”

Wink wink I found this key by the door it must be yours it says P.O. box 37.
Benedict Biden’s theft of classified Federal documents is a very SERIOUS CRIME, because unlike with Trump, the VP does NOT have the power to declassify, only the POTUS! He should be IMMEDIATELY IMPEACHED!
