Iran Press/ America: The White House said on Saturday it had discovered more sensitive documents at Joe Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, piling political and legal pressure on to the US president. In a statement, Richard Sauber, Biden’s special counsel, said he had found five pages of classified material in a room adjacent to the garage of the president’s Wilmington home, in addition to those disclosed earlier this week.
The fresh disclosure came after the White House on Monday said it had found classified government records at a private office Biden used in Washington. On Thursday it was revealed that a small batch of papers had also been found at his main residence in Delaware.
US Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Thursday the appointment of a special counsel to investigate the issue of the classified documents found at addresses linked to Biden.
Republicans have tried to capitalize on the news, drawing parallels between Biden and the controversy over former President Donald Trump holding onto classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort residence.
Democrats have countered that Trump held onto hundreds of documents, not the handful found so far found at Biden’s addresses, and Biden immediately turned over the documents to the government, while Trump held onto them for years, lied about them, and refused to hand them over.
