The discovery of more classified documents near the garage of his Wilmington, Delaware, home, where the president has spent a significant portion of his presidency, further adds pressure on exactly what Biden knew about the classified material in his possession and since. when.

On Saturday, the White House confirmed through its lawyer Richard Sauber the discovery of six additional papers to those already found in his private residence and in the old offices that Biden used in Washington when he left the vice presidency after eight years with Barack Obama.
