USA: confidential documents found in Biden’s private residence

“A small number” of confidential documents dating from Joe Biden’s vice-presidency days were found in his private residence in Wilmington, the White House said Thursday.

Following the discovery of a dozen such documents in a former office of the US president, his lawyers reviewed all his files and found “a small number of additional documents dating from the Obama-Biden administration and classified as confidential,” which were in the garage of his Delaware residence and an adjacent room, according to a statement.

Joe Biden immediately reacted by saying “fully cooperate” with American justice.

He also clarified that the garage in question, where his Chevrolet Corvette is parked, was locked, so the documents “did not lie in the street”.
