Documents with classified markings from US President Joe Biden’s time as vice president were found at his home in Wilmington, Delaware, the White House says, days after it was disclosed that sensitive documents were also found at the office of his former Washington institute.

Richard Sauber, a special counsel to the president, says after the initial documents were found by Biden’s personal lawyers, they examined other locations where records might have been shipped after Biden left the vice presidency in 2017.

Sauber says a “small number” of documents with classified markings were found in a storage space in Biden’s garage in Wilmington, with one document being located in an adjacent room.

Sauber says the Department of Justice was “immediately notified” after the documents were found and that department lawyers took custody of the records.
