The US Justice Department is conducting a search of a beach house owned by President Joe Biden in Delaware.
A statement from Bob Bauer, personal attorney for the President, read: “Today, with the President’s full support and cooperation, the DOJ is conducting a planned search of his home in Rehoboth, Delaware. Under DOJ’s standard procedures, in the interests of operational security and integrity, it sought to do this work without advance public notice, and we agreed to cooperate.
“The search today is a further step in a thorough and timely DOJ process we will continue to fully support and facilitate. We will have further information at the conclusion of today’s search.”
It comes after a special counsel was been appointed to investigate the discovery of classified documents in US President Joe Biden’s home and former Washington office.
The documents from the Obama administration were found in Mr Biden’s garage at his personal home in Wilmington, Delaware.
