The FBI searched U.S. President Joe Biden's Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, home Wednesday as part of its investigation into the potential mishandling of classified documents, the president's personal lawyer said.
The search, the third of a Biden site in less than two months, follows the 13-hour, Jan. 20 top-to-bottom check of his Wilmington, Delaware, home, where agents located documents with classified markings and also took possession of some of his handwritten notes.
It underscores how an investigation that had simmered quietly for weeks is continuing to push forward rather than fade away. In a statement acknowledging the search Wednesday, Biden's personal lawyer, Bob Bauer, said the Justice Department had initiated the new action "without advance public notice, and we agreed to cooperate."
The FBI searched the Penn Biden Center in November following the initial discovery of documents there by Biden's lawyers, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Tuesday, and did its own search last month of the Wilmington property, locating what Bauer said were six items containing documents with classified markings.The Biden documents probe is being handled by a special counsel, Robert Hur, the former top federal prosecutor in Baltimore.
