Lawyers for Joe Biden said this Thursday (12) that they had found another batch of confidential documents belonging to the period when he was vice president of Barack Obama (2009-2017) at an address linked to him. The papers in question were discovered in the garage at his home in Wilmington, Delaware.
The statement comes days after one of his legal representatives said that another set of secret materials belonging to the Democrat had been discovered in November, in an office of a think tank at the University of Pennsylvania that Biden used after leaving the vice presidency.
The announcement enabled comparisons with his predecessor Donald Trump, who in August had his home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, searched by FBI agents, the American federal police, in search of confidential documents supposedly taken from the White House.
The current government argues that the contexts are different – ​​the discovery of documents related to the democrat was not due to any previous request and there was no resistance to recover confidential documents, unlike what happened with the former president.
Still, the findings are troubling for Biden as he prepares to launch his re-election campaign in the coming months.
