Washington: President Joe Biden's attorney released a statement on Saturday evening confirming that the Justice Department found additional classified documents in President Biden's Wilmington, Delaware home on Friday.

According to his attorney Bob Bauer, some of the top-secret papers and "surrounding materials" came from the time that Biden served as the senator from Delaware to the US from 1973 to 2009.

The vice president served in the Obama administration from 2009 to 2017, according to other documents, according to Bauer.

According to the attorney, the Department of Justice also took some notes that Biden had personally handwritten while serving as vice president.

"To allow DOJ to conduct a search of the entire premises for potential vice presidential records and potential classified material," Bauer said, the president offered access to "his home."
