FBI searching Biden’s Rehoboth Beach home

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. – The FBI is conducting a planned search of President Joe Biden’s Rehoboth Beach home as part of its investigation into the potential mishandling of classified documents, according to the president’s personal lawyer.

We’re told this search follows a 13-hour review of his Wilmington, Delaware home back on January 20th, when agents located additional documents with classified markings and also took possession of some of his handwritten notes. Documents were also reportedly found at his Wilmington home by his personal lawyers, who initiated a search after the November 2nd discovery of documents with classified markings by Biden’s lawyers as they closed up an office at the Penn Biden Center.

“Under DOJ’s standard procedures, in the interests of operational security and integrity, it sought to do this work without advance public notice, and we agreed to cooperate,” said Biden’s lawyer, Bob Bauer, in a statement. “The search today is a further step in a thorough and timely DOJ process we will continue to fully support and facilitate. We will have further information at the conclusion of today’s search.”

The Biden documents probe is being handled by a special counsel, Robert Hur, the former top federal prosecutor in Baltimore. We’re told he is starting his work this week, inheriting a months-long investigation already undertaken by FBI agents and Justice Department prosecutors.
