FBI searched Biden think tank office after classified documents were found last year

FBI agents searched the office President Joe Biden used after his vice presidency in Washington, D.C. in mid-November after his lawyers first discovered classified documents there earlier that month, two senior law enforcement officials told NBC News.

The White House and Biden’s personal attorneys had not previously disclosed the search of the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, even as they faced weeks of questions about the discovery of classified records. CBS broke the news of the FBI search on Tuesday.

The officials told NBC that Biden’s lawyers cooperated fully with the search, and the Justice Department did not issue a search warrant. Biden’s team also worked with the Justice Department in a later FBI search of his Wilmington, Delaware home, for which it also did not issue a warrant.

The president’s personal attorneys discovered documents at the think tank office on Nov. 2. The attorneys notified the National Archives, leading to an investigation by the Justice Department. But the White House did not disclose the development until it was reported on Jan. 9.

Attorney General Merrick Garland announced on Jan. 12 that he appointed Robert Hur, a former U.S. attorney, as special counsel to investigate.

I wonder if they knew about all this when Mar-A-Lago was raided?
Also, Brandon has documents from when he was a senator and Vpeezy of the Steezy which is not allowed.
Sticking them in a vintage Corvette trunk or banker’s box at Jill’s yard sale is not recommended either.
Sadly, the rule of law got deleted by the historic pen and phone.
