All eyes are on White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre after additional classified documents were found at President Biden’s Delaware home more than a week after she said a search of the residence was “complete.”
On Friday, officials from the Justice Department seized “six items consisting of documents with classification markings” from the Wilmington estate nine days after the press secretary strongly suggested no additional documents would be found.
“On Jan. 20, 2023, the FBI executed a planned, consensual search of the President’s residence in Wilmington, Delaware,” Joseph D. Fitzpatrick, an assistant U.S. attorney to U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois John Lausch, told Fox News Saturday.
Biden’s personal attorney Bob Bauer later confirmed the “DOJ had full access to the President’s home, including personally handwritten notes, files, papers, binders, memorabilia, to-do lists, schedules, and reminders going back decades.”

The new discovery seems to come at odds with what Jean-Pierre previously said from the White House podium.
On Jan. 12, Jean-Pierre told reporters during a press conference that a search of President Biden’s Wilmington residence was “completed” and that the matter is “in the hands of the special counsel” before telling reporters they “should assume it has been completed, yes.”
Later in the press conference, Karine-Pierre reaffirmed “the search is complete.”
But, additional documents were found later that night and again on Friday.
On Jan. 13, a day after Jean-Pierre’s initial “complete” remark, White House special counsel Richard Sauber said more classified documents were found Thursday evening.
