White House: DOJ searched Biden home after ‘voluntary, proactive offer’ by lawyers

WASHINGTON, Jan 24 — The White House said on Monday that a search by the Justice Department of President Joe Biden’s home on Friday had been carried out after a “voluntary, proactive offer” by his personal lawyers to the department.

Some of the most recently disclosed classified documents and “surrounding materials” dated from Biden’s tenure in the US Senate, where he represented Delaware from 1973 to 2009, according to his lawyer, Bob Bauer. Other documents had been from his tenure as vice president in the Obama administration, from 2009 through 2017, Bauer said.

The search increases the legal and political stakes for Biden, who has insisted that the previous discovery of classified material at his home and former office would eventually be deemed inconsequential.
