It is being reported on Newsmax that they discovered these documents on the 1st of November AND kept a lid on it because of the election on the 8th of Nov. NOW they are releasing the information in the middle of Jan. 2&1/2 months later!!
A link would be good, Newsmax is not the best; if true it should be elsewhere.
The two places with the Nov.2 mention. I’d like to know more about this. Where did this info first surface, I wonder. Snips also from the source of the Newsmax article. It is not clear when the recent stuff surfaced.

Jean-Pierre also refused to answer questions from The Associated Press on when he was briefed on the doc discoveries, with O’Keefe having asked if there was any link to the Nov. 2 timing — days before the midterm elections.
“I was briefed about this discovery and surprised to learn that there are any government records that were taken there to that office,” Biden said in his first comments since news of the Nov. 2, 2022, document discovery emerged Monday.
WASHINGTON — Aides to President Joe Biden have discovered at least one additional batch of classified documents in a location separate from the Washington office he used after leaving the Obama administration, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Since November, after the discovery of documents with classified markings in his former office, Biden aides have been searching for any additional classified materials that might be in other locations he used, said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to provide details about the ongoing inquiry.
The White House did not reply to a request for comment. The Justice Department had no comment.
The initial discovery of classified documents in an office used by Biden after his vice presidency was first reported on Monday by CBS News.
The classification level, number and precise location of the additional documents was not immediately clear. It also was not immediately clear when the additional documents were discovered and if the search for any other classified materials Biden may have from the Obama administration is complete.
Biden aides have been sifting through documents stored at locations beyond his former Washington office to determine if there are any other classified documents that need to be turned over to the National Archives and reviewed by the Justice Department, the person familiar with the matter said.
