President Joe Biden failed to explain Thursday why documents with classified markings were stored next to his vintage Corvette in a garage at his home in Wilmington, Delaware.
White House lawyers said in a statement Thursday that a “small number of Obama-Biden administration records with classified markings” were found “among personal and political papers” in storage spaces at the Wilmington home. It’s the second set of classified documents found in Biden’s possession after lawyers revealed earlier this week that staff clearing out office space at his former D.C. think tank found about 10 classified documents in November.
Asked “what were you thinking?” by Fox News reporter Peter Doocy on Thursday, Biden responded, “By the way, my Corvette’s in a locked garage, so it’s not like it’s sitting out on the street. But as I said earlier this week, people know I take classified documents and classified material seriously. I also said we’re cooperating fully and completely with the Justice Department’s review.”
