WASHINGTON - The White House said Thursday "a small number" of classified documents had been found at Joe Biden's private residence in Wilmington, Delaware, dating to the Obama-Biden administration. Other documents were found at a Washington think tank where Biden used to have an office, embarrassing the White House as authorities probe a far bigger scandal involving ex-president Donald Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents.
The classified documents found at Joe Biden's former office and private residence were "inadvertently misplaced," a White House lawyer said Thursday, insisting the US president would "cooperate" with a special counsel appointed to investigate the matter. "We are confident that a thorough review will show that these documents were inadvertently misplaced, and the President and his lawyers acted promptly upon discovery of this mistake," Richard Sauber, senior advisor to the White House Counsel's Office, said in a statement.
