The Hill reported:
The discovery of five more documents brings the total number of materials with classified markings found at Biden’s old office and Wilmington home to roughly two dozen. Biden arrived at his Wilmington residence on Friday night. He is set to spend the weekend there, as he does frequently.
Sauber referred further questions to the special counsel who was appointed Thursday to review the matter moving forward, and he reiterated that the White House will cooperate with the special counsel.
“The President’s lawyers have acted immediately and voluntarily to provide the Penn Biden documents to the Archives and the Wilmington documents to DOJ,” Sauber said in a statement. “We have now publicly released specific details about the documents identified, how they were identified, and where they were found.”
Attorneys for the president found roughly 10 documents with classified markings on Nov. 2 at a Washington, D.C., office Biden used from 2017 to 2019 while working as an honorary professor for the University of Pennsylvania. That discovery was confirmed by the White House on Monday after it was reported by CBS News.
