FBI searched Biden home, found documents marked classified
The FBI searched President Joe Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware on Friday and located six additional documents containing classified markings and also took possession of some of his notes, the president’s lawyer said Saturday.
Bob Bauer, the president’s personal lawyer, said the search of the entire premises lasted nearly 13 hours. The documents taken by the FBI spanned Biden’s time in the Senate and the vice presidency, while the notes dated to his time as vice president. The level of classification, and whether they remained classified, was not immediately clear as the Justice Department reviews the records.
The search followed more than a week after Biden’s attorneys found six classified documents in the president’s home library from his time as vice president, and nearly three months after lawyers found a small number of classified records at his former offices at the Penn Biden Center in Washington. It came a day after Biden maintained that “there’s no there there” on the document discoveries, which have become a political headache for the president and complicated the Justice Department’s probe into former President Donald Trump’s retention of classified documents and official records after he left office.

It remains to be seen whether additional searches by federal officials of other locations might be conducted. Biden’s personal attorneys previously conducted a search of the Rehoboth Beach residence and said they did not find any official documents or classified records.
So, with Trump, the politicized DOJ did an early morning raid with agents all decked out in body armor, carrying military grade weapons. Furiously searching, tearing apart Melania’s closet, going through her underwear drawer. Taking everything they could pick up, regardless of what it was. They made sure the Credentialed Media was present to film and broadcast it all. And to let them know quickly what the classification was. The exact opposite of what they did with Biden, who, apparently, had classified documents going back to when he was in the Senate, and would damned sure not have authorization to have them sitting around in his house, especially not with his drug addled son Hunter hanging out.
When does the search of his beach house take place? Will his lawyers be alerted and present, despite not having security clearances?
Biden tanked Jimmy Carter’s nominee for CIA over mishandled classified docs
As a senator in the 1970s, Joe Biden tanked then-President Jimmy Carter’s pick to lead the Central Intelligence Agency over the nominee’s illegal possession of classified documents.
Carter chose Ted Sorenson to serve as his CIA director in 1977.
Sorenson had admitted to taking boxes of classified records home with him after leaving the White House in 1964, and using the materials for his work in writing a biography of former President John F. Kennedy. Sorenson’s admission to this came in affidavits used in cases involving the Pentagon Papers.
At the time, Biden considered the affidavit and joined with Republicans to block Sorenson from being confirmed by the Senate. Biden also suggested Sorenson may have violated the Espionage Act.
So, by Biden’s own suggestion, he could be charged with violating the Espionage Act.
