Classified documents from Biden's time as VP discovered in private office, source says By Jamie Gangel, CNN Updated 5:52 PM EST, Mon January 09, 2023
(CNN)Several classified documents from President Joe Biden's time as vice president were discovered last fall in a private office, a source with knowledge of the matter tells CNN.
The National Archives has referred the matter to the Justice Department for further investigation, the source told CNN.
Biden's lawyers found the government materials in November while closing out a Washington, DC-based office that Biden used as part of his relationship with the University of Pennsylvania, where he was an honorary professor from 2017 to 2019, the source said. ***
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."

The classified materials included some top-secret files with the "sensitive compartmented information" designation, also known as SCI, which is used for highly sensitive information obtained from intelligence sources.

Let’s remember the DOJ said Trump committed a crime if he had ANY government documents, even if they weren’t classified.
RE: Throwing Bandon under the bus, are they?
What Brandon should do is remind them of the nature and locations of the many Obama and other skeletons he knows about.
Still, I may pick up some popcorn just in case this doesn’t blow over by tomorrow afternoon.
“ The material was identified by personal attorneys for Mr. Biden on Nov. 2, just before the midterm elections, Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president confirmed. “
Discovered before the election. Crickets.
Was the FBI planting them like they tried to do with Trump? I think our administrative state has run amok. Shades of J. Edgar Hoover.
Did they get em with a raid? Flashing lights? SUVs?
Warrants? Night raid?
Is anything from CNN, MSNBC ... etc., worth citing on FR?
This is the start of the press going after Biden they DO NOT want him to run again!!!
Well, the VP does not have the declassification authority so whoever is playing “Joe” should be locked up tonight. LOL.
“I’m surprised CNN is who has the story.!”
So did NBC. It’s called “inoculation”. Get out ahead of bad news.
“I believe this photo causes problems for the Activist Special Counsel appointed with Specific instructions to get Trump.”
Might drop the case like yesterday’s doo-doo and call it “even”...which, of course, it is not.
Mar a Lago is Fort Knox compared to these lying posers. In closets? Private offices? lol...
Sure you’re right. Newsom and his hair are looking cuter every day.
Gosh...I still want to peek into the files at univ of Del re old Creeper Joe finger raping Tara. But, that’s just me.
When will Adam Schiff, Maxine Waters & Co. screech IMPEACH? It is interesting that CNN actually covered it.
