Classified documents from Biden's time as vice president were found at a private office last fall, a source says. The matter was referred to the Justice Department.
Several classified documents from President Joe Biden’s time as vice president were discovered last fall in a private office, Biden’s attorneys acknowledged Monday. Attorney General Merrick Garland has asked the US attorney in Chicago to investigate the matter, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN, and congressional Republicans are also taking notice.
Biden’s team cooperated with NARA, which later came to view the situation as a mistake due to lack of safeguards for documents, the source said. In November, NARA sent a referral to the Justice Department to look into the matter, a source with knowledge of the situation told CNN. The US attorney in Chicago, John Lausch Jr., is investigating. Lausch was one of the rare Trump-era holdovers who wasn’t asked to resign after Biden’s inauguration.
