Classified documents have been found at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, prompting a Justice Department probe, CBS News reported Monday afternoon.
Citing “two sources with knowledge of the inquiry,” CBS reported that the probe involves “roughly 10 documents” found at “President Biden’s vice-presidential office at the center.”
Attorney General Merrick Garland has assigned John Lausch, the U.S. attorney in Chicago, to review the classified papers and determine how they ended up at the Penn Biden Center.
Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president, confirmed to CBS News that the materials were identified by the president’s lawyers on Nov.
