The FBI searched the Penn Biden Center offices in mid-November, according to two sources familiar with the investigation, after lawyers for President Biden had found about 10 documents marked classified there on Nov. 2. The material originated from Mr. Biden’s time as vice president.
It is not clear whether FBI personnel found any additional classified or presidential material during the mid-November sweep.
Two sources told CBS News the search was conducted with the cooperation of Mr. Biden’s representatives. A search warrant was not sought.
[Why is this only coming out now, more than two months later? Why wasn’t this included in the timeline provided by the White House and the Department of Justice? And if they searched the Penn Biden Center at that time, did Biden tell the FBI about the boxes of material at his home in Wilmington too — or did that come later? This opens up even more questions about what was known to whom, and when, and why other relevant people were left out of the loop — like the congressional committees charged with oversight. — Ed]
