FBI agents have begun a search at the home of the president of the United States, Joe Biden, in the state of Delaware, within the 

 in two other buildings linked to the current tenant of the White House.

Biden's personal lawyer, Bob Bauer, has assured in a statement that 

 and has indicated that he will detail more information once the search is complete.

The authorities have already located documents in a Wilmington home and in a Washington office

, corresponding to Biden's time as vice president during the Barack Obama Administration.

Now, the investigations are extended to another property in Rehoboth Beach, according to sources quoted by 

.

The scandal has called into question Biden's management of supposedly protected material and has given wings to Republicans, who have used the chaos to denounce double standards, after the accusations against former President Donald Trump last year for also keeping this type of documents.

"Today, with the full support and cooperation of the President, the Department is conducting a planned search of his home in Rehoboth, Delaware," Bauer said.

The search, which US media reports are conducting FBI agents, is being conducted "in accordance with the Department's standard procedures" and "in the interest of operational security and integrity."

"This work was sought to be done without prior public notice, and we agreed to cooperate," added the president's lawyer.

There have been several times that the US government has announced the discovery of more documents.

Classified documents have also been found in the homes of former President Trump and his former Vice President, Mike Pence.

This forced the US National Archives to ask all of the country's former presidents and vice presidents to review their personal records in case they might contain sensitive documents.

"The responsibility to abide by the Presidential Records Law does not diminish when a government ends

," the National Archives have explained in a letter.

Both the White House and Biden himself have insisted from the beginning on their total willingness to collaborate in these Justice Department investigations and have tried to distance themselves from the case of the classified documents found by the FBI in former President Trump's mansion in Mar-a. -Lake.
