US, top secret documents found in Biden’s former office. Trump: when to raid his home?

Some 10 ‘classified’, i.e. top secret, documents were found in Joe Biden’s old office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, a Washington think tank named after the US president himself. The papers date back to his vice presidential years and were unearthed in November. Attorney General Merrick Garland asked his colleague in Chicago to desecrate the documents, which were then handed over to the national archives. Their identification took place a few days before the midterm elections, special counsel Richard Sauber revealed. Biden had used the office on a periodic basis, from mid-2017 to the start of his presidential campaign.

Trump: when to search Biden’s home? 

Sauber added that the White House is cooperating with the Justice Department and the National Archives, although neither institution has commented on the incident. Neither the precise total of the papers nor their contents are clear, although the CBS broadcaster pointed out that they do not include nuclear secrets. The Justice Department is handling, in a separate case, the secret documents kept by former President Donald Trump in his Florida mansion. FBI agents conducted an authorized search last 8 August at the Mar-a-Lago mansion, uncovering about a hundred ‘classified’ papers amid thousands of other documents. Trump himself appeared furious at the news and demanded similar treatment for Biden: ‘When will the FBI raid Joe Biden’s many homes, perhaps even the White House? These documents have not been declassified at all,’ Trump wrote on the social media site Truth, sharing the CBS article with revelations about the discovery in Biden’s office.
