Classified documents found by president’s personal lawyers while closing out office at UPenn’s Biden Center for Diplomacy
The US justice department is investigating a number of documents bearing highly-sensitive classified markings stored at Joe Biden’s former institute in Washington DC from his time as vice-president in the Obama administration, the White House acknowledged in a statement on Monday.
The documents were found by Biden’s personal lawyers at the start of November when they closed out office space at the University of Pennsylvania’s Biden Center for Diplomacy, a thinktank, where he was an honorary professor until 2019.
