In a statement, an attorney for President Joe Biden said his team first flagged the materials to both DOJ and the National Archives and Record Administration.
"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, a special counsel to Biden, said in a statement.

Discovered last fall and we are just hearing about it now. How much you want to bet it was before the election?
This stinks to high heaven. I do not believe they wouldn’t just move the info under cover of night.
I know, it’s a subjective opinion. :)
To me the woman has all the charm of soggy cardboard.
Time out. Why did they tell on themselves? Goes against everything they stand for.
Oh I agree with you. We’re in a sad state.
If it’s been reported, how does it get covered up?
The Clintons already scrubbed the files, as a service yo all Americans
BTW, does Bill Clinton have any files squirreled away?
The agents will be allowed to sniff Joe Biden’s underwear, though.

The “investigation” has already concluded:
“It’s a democrat so that makes it ok.”
Brandon already refused.
The JUST US dept. will do NOTHING to him cause he’s a DEMONCRAT!
When does the fbi raid biden’s home, seizing papers and forbidding anyone from taking photos?
What will happen is the media will do what they always do with incriminating evidence for a democrat: lie, whitewash, put the blame on Republicans.
Correct. This is prep for the promised GOP house investigations into DOJ malfeasance. I would not be surprised if the DOJ is coordinating with McCarthy on the "defense" already.
My mom said CNN spent 20 minutes on it!
This 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!
“If it’s been reported, how does it get covered up?”
The media will say there was nothing in the documents of any value. However, if President Trump had done that, all hell would break loose, and the media would speculate that all the top Russian secrets were in there.
Well this blows that theory. https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/10/politics/biden-classified-documents-iran-ukraine-united-kingdom-beau-funeral/index.html
Just showed you that the drive bys were reporting on it. Morning Joe had their take. Others have been forthcoming.
The Presidential Records Act requires federal officeholders to turn over legal documents as well as classified records at the end of their government service, according to CBS News. It is unclear why the records remained in a private facility after former President Barack Obama’s term.
Sauber wrote in his statement that “[the] President periodically used [the Penn Biden Center] from mid-2017 until the start of the 2020 campaign.”
He went on to write that the White House has cooperated with the National Archives and the Department of Justice since the documents were discovered. He added that the documents were found by the president’s attorneys, and that they have cooperated with the National Archives and Department of Justice to make sure that all Obama-Biden Administration records are in the “[appropriate] possession of the Archives.”
Garland has assigned John Lausch, United States attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, to identify how the documents ended up at the center, according to The Washington Post. The review will serve as a preliminary step which will be followed by further investigation, should Garland deem it necessary.
According to CBS News, Biden is reported to have found out about these documents in November. CBS also reported that familiar sources said that he is unaware of the content of the documents.
