According to a report published on Wednesday, the FBI conducted two different searches at the University of Delaware as a part of the investigation by the Department of Justice into President Biden’s mishandling of the confidential documents.
An anonymous source informed CNN that the searches were conducted recently, in cooperation with Biden’s legal aides.
During the searches, several records were taken into custody by the FBI. The records did not have “confidential” labels on them, however, the FBI is currently assessing the material.
The media outlet also added that the searches were not previously disclosed.
CNN reported:
“The library at the University of Delaware, Biden’s alma mater, is home to an extensive collection of papers from the president’s time in the Senate, according to its website. The investigators examined two separate batches of documents during the searches: an archive of materials from Biden’s time in the US Senate and documents that Biden sent to the university in recent years.”
These two searches are the latest addition in the classified documents scandal related to President Joe Biden.
Last year in August, the former U.S. President Donald Trump’s Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago, was searched by the FBI over the possession of confidential documents.
Currently, only Donald Trump is cooperating with the National Archives for returning the documents.
In January, Trump took to his Truth Social to respond to the discovery of similar classified documents that were procured from Joe Biden.
He wrote:
“Page 1: The new narrative from the Fake News Media, virtually the same people that pushed the BIG LIE of Russia, Russia, Russia, only to go down in flames, is the even more ridiculous story that ‘what Bidden did isn’t as bad as what Trump did.’ Number one, I did NOTHING wrong, have the right as President to ‘declassify,’ had documents in a secure place, put an extra lock on at Radical Left NARA’s request, and was dealing with NARA nicely, as per PRA & Socks, until the FBI broke into Mar-a-Lago…”
He added:
“Page 2: Mar-a-Lago is a walled fortress, built with ‘unlimited’ money with the idea that it would one day be the Southern White House. I guess that turned out to be true! In addition to locks & a strong structural setting, I have security & Secret Service is there full time. Compare that to a flimsy garage, with NO SECURITY, & papers strewn all over the floor. Easy access for ANYONE! Also, he had them for 6 years in many different places. I ARRIVED to MAL with “papers” AS PRESIDENT. Joe a VP….”
He continued:
“With all that has been stated on Pages 1 & 2 of Truth Social, and with all of the evidence leading to the fact that I DID NOTHING WRONG, AND JOE DID, our Nation has become an ‘Investigation Nightmare,’ despite the many other problems we have, which are many. It is NOW time for the USA to stop these RIDICULOUS INVESTIGATIONS, and that includes those D.C. inspired Local & State Which Hunts, and get back to the business of properly running our Country!”
