President Joe Biden told reporters Tuesday that the news of classified documents being found in his old Pennsylvania office „surprised“ him, but he and his lawyers are „cooperating fully“ with the review being done by the Justice Department and the National Archives and Records Administration.
„People know I take classified information seriously,“ Biden said, during a North American Leaders‘ Summit in Mexico.
Biden explained that, in November of 2022, when his lawyers were cleaning out his old office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy & Global Engagement, documents with classified markings were unexpectedly located. Biden worked at the center, run by the University of Pennsylvania, from 2017 to 2019.
The reported roughly 10 documents were found in the office space, citing a person familiar with the investigation.
