Joe Biden and his team simply will not come clean with the American people about the numerous stolen classified documents found in his possession. Biden, his personal and White House lawyers, in cahoots with the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, have kept secret the details the searches at his private Penn Biden Center office and Delaware homes. It was two months after the first search was done that Biden owned up to it but only after the news was leaked to CBS News. Biden’s White House and private lawyers have since issued incomplete statements and timelines that have failed to disclose the full nature of the searches.
Attorney General Merrick Garland kept the Biden investigation secret for two months, even though he appointed a special counsel to investigate President Trump in mid-November over a classified documents dispute with the National Archives. Garland only appointed a special counsel for Biden after his cover-up of the investigation was exposed.
CBS News reported the latest blow to the Biden cover-up on Tuesday with a report that the FBI searched Biden’s private office at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C. in mid-November. This search has never been revealed by Biden or his private and White House lawyers.
The FBI searched the Penn Biden Center offices in mid-November, according to two sources familiar with the investigation, after lawyers for President Biden had found about 10 documents marked classified there on Nov. 2. The material originated from Mr. Biden’s time as vice president.
It is not clear whether FBI personnel found any additional classified or presidential material during the mid-November sweep.
Two sources told CBS News the search was conducted with the cooperation of Mr. Biden’s representatives. A search warrant was not sought.
Fox News confirmed the CBS report:
FBI agents searched the Penn Biden Center offices in mid-November, sources confirmed to Fox News, after President Biden’s personal attorneys discovered a handful of documents with classified markings there on Nov. 2. The documents were dated to Biden’s time as vice president in the Obama administration.
The Wall Street Journal reports the search was the result of an agreement between the Biden White House and the FBI, “Search was undertaken after agreement with White House.”
When the Biden classified documents scandal was first reported on January 9 by CBS, White House special counsel Richard Sauber issued a statement that did not mention the FBI search of the Penn Biden Center.
A timeline released by Biden’s private attorney Bob Bauer on January 14 does not mention the November FBI search.
