Biden ‘surprised’ by secret documents in former office
“Opposition got food”
Secret government documents found in US President Joe Biden’s private office “This case is completely different than Trump’s case,” says WELT reporter Michael Wullenweber. But it casts a heavy shadow over what’s on Biden’s mind.
US President Joe Biden pledged his “full cooperation” with the investigation after classified documents were found in his former office. He was “surprised” to find the documents and did not know what they contained.
US President Joe Biden said he was “surprised” by the secret government documents found in his personal office and pledged his “full cooperation” with the investigation. On the sidelines of the North American Summit in Mexico City on Tuesday, Biden said he did not know what the documents contained. All the documents were handed over to the National Archives.
It was made public on Monday that Biden kept secret documents from his time as US Vice President Barack Obama in his private offices at the Ben Biden Center in the US capital, Washington. Biden continued to use the complex after his term ended. While clearing out Biden’s office, his lawyers found a box of classified documents in a “locked closet.”
These are 10 classified documents, some of which are highly classified. According to CNN, it also includes documents from the US Secret Service of other countries such as Ukraine, Iran or Great Britain.
The documents were discovered on November 2 and turned over to the National Archives, the White House announced. They are not subject to prior request from the archive. In the United States, government documents are generally required to be archived and preserved for posterity. The case is being investigated by the judiciary.
The discovery is particularly explosive because Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump, has been targeted by investigators since his tenure in office, holding classified government documents. Over the summer, the FBI seized thousands of documents from Trump’s private home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. The investigations against Trump have been going on for months. By doing so, the former president may have made himself punishable. Biden had criticized Trump’s behavior in September as “irresponsible”.
