Democrat Joe Biden is getting bad news, according to recent media reports, as the scandalous classified documents drama surrounding him continues to unfold and his entire administration is running around trying to dispel scrutiny on the Biden family.
According to an updated report on the matter, the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) is considering searching more locations for even more classified documents after a search of his Wilmington, Delaware home on Friday uncovered more classified material, CBS News reported.
“Justice Department officials are also considering the possibility of conducting other consensual searches at locations linked to Mr. Biden, said the source familiar with the investigation,” the report said.
“DOJ took possession of materials it deemed within the scope of its inquiry, including six items consisting of documents with classification markings and surrounding materials, some of which were from the President’s service in the Senate and some of which were from his tenure as Vice President. DOJ also took for further review personally handwritten notes from the vice-presidential years,” Biden’s personal attorney said.
The search was conducted over a 12-hour period on Friday with the approval of the president’s attorneys, unlike the raid on former President Donald Trump’s home, CNN reported.
Those six items are in addition to materials previously found at Biden’s Wilmington residence and in his private office.
The federal search of Biden’s home, while voluntary, marks an escalation of special counsel Robert Hur’s probe into the president’s handling of classified documents and will inevitably draw comparisons to his predecessor, former President Donald Trump – even if the FBI’s search of Trump’s residence was conducted under different circumstances, Carmine Sabia reported for Conservative Brief.
The FBI five months ago obtained a search warrant to search Trump’s Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago, an unprecedented step that was taken because federal investigators had evidence suggesting Trump had not handed over all classified materials in his possession after receiving a subpoena to turn over classified documents to the National Archives. Trump’s handling of classified material at Mar-a-Lago is also the subject of a special counsel investigation led by Jack Smith.
The search shows that federal investigators are swiftly moving forward with the probe into classified documents found in Biden’s possession. Hur, who was appointed a little more than a week ago, is investigating how the president and his team handled Obama-era classified documents that were recently found in Biden’s private possession.
Members of the president’s private legal team and White House counsel were president during, what they called a, “thorough search,” where they were granted “full access” to the Biden home.
On Thursday, the day prior to the new search, the president said he had “no regrets” about how he has handled the scandal.
“We found a handful of documents were filed in the wrong place,” he said. “We immediately turned them over to the Archives and the Justice Department. We’re fully cooperating, looking forward to getting this resolved quickly. I think you’re gonna find there’s nothing there. I have no regrets. I’m following what the lawyers have told me they want me to do. That’s exactly what we’re doing. There’s no there there.”
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan announced a new probe last Friday into President Joe Biden following revelations that he was in possession of Obama-era classified documents, potentially in violation of federal law governing such materials.
“Why can’t the White House just be honest with us about Joe Biden’s classified documents and the border crisis?: Jordan tweeted on Friday:

In a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, the Ohio Republican noted that it was his committee’s responsibility to conduct such “oversight” and added that he expected the Justice Department to cooperate. The Judiciary probe follows another by Rep. James Comer’s Oversight Committee investigation into the matter, as well as that of a special counsel appointed by Garland last week.
Jordan appeared on Fox News to talk about the details:

“On January 12, 2023, you appointed Robert Hur as Special Counsel to investigate these matters,” Jordan and Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) wrote. “The circumstances of this appointment raise fundamental oversight questions that the Committee routinely examines. We expect your complete cooperation with our inquiry.”
In the letter, Jordan also raised questions about the timing of the document disclosure earlier this month after learning that the first batch was discovered at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C., just days before the midterm elections.
“It is unclear when the Department first came to learn about the existence of these documents, and whether it actively concealed this information from the public on the eve of the 2022 elections,” the two lawmakers wrote.
“It is also unclear what interactions, if any, the Department had with President Biden or his representatives about his mishandling of classified material. The Department’s actions here appear to depart from how it acted in similar circumstances,” the letter continued.
AWWW……BREAKING MY HEART……HE DESERVES IT!!!!!
Poor grampa cornPop!
OH..GOOD…
He need to be devastated..
Biden needs the electric chair. All the crimes he’s committed a average person would be charged with treason and hung. He deserved destruction. A evil man all his life. But still democrats back this piece of trash. Stop voting for democrats.
Devastated? That a corrupt, and incompetent DOJ is “turning” on a fraud, and criminal! Shocking!
Joe Biden is an illegal potus who not elected. He is NOT POTUS. He stole the 2020 election from Pres Trump. He has deliberately committed many acts of treason; he must be removed and executed [ with his handler Barack H Obama ] for their multiple acts of treason endangering the sovereignty of the USA even he is fake .
As President, Trump he was allowed by law to declassify documents. The whole raid on his private home was just another WITCH HUNT by the CRIMINAL Democrats.
Now let’s look at the Serial Liar/Serial Sniffer Joe. He had documents from when he was in the Senate and when he was VP, of which NEITHER a Senator OR VP was allowed by law to possess. That braying jackass BRAYED about Trump, when HE HIMSELF was breaking the law by keeping those documents. LOCK HIM UP!
It’s not supposed to be his personal weaponized DOJ. They should be neutral
Partially correct, neutralized is the correct word.
I guess Joe thought that being POTUS put him “above the law”!! Let’s “PERP WALK JOE” out of the White House!!!!!!!
So devastated he shiited himself twice…
