The FBI searched President Joe Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware on Friday and located six additional documents containing classification markings and also took possession of some of his notes, the president’s lawyer said Saturday.
Bob Bauer, the president's personal lawyer, said the search of the entire premises lasted nearly 13 hours. The apparently classified documents spanned Biden's time in the Senate and the vice presidency, while the notes dated to his time as vice president. The level of classification, and whether they remained classified, was not immediately clear as the Justice Department reviews the records.
The search followed more than a week after Biden’s attorneys found six other classified documents in the president’s home library from his time as vice president, and nearly three months after lawyers found a small number of classified records at his former offices at the Penn Biden Center in Washington. It came a day after Biden maintained that “there’s no there there" on the document discoveries, which have become a political headache for the president and complicated the Justice Department's probe into former President Donald Trump's retention of classified documents and official records after he left office.

If you mean you have nothing to add, this makes sense because the part of the last line in this excerpt where it reads, "...the document discoveries,
which have become a political headache for the president and complicated the Justice Department's probe into former President Donald Trump's retention of classified documents and official records after he left office" says it all.
If you want comments from the peanut gallery, these are my current thoughts on this; There is no doubt they are a political headache. Whoever advised Biden to keep mum about the documents previously discovered gave him bad advice. Furthermore, as soon as the documents were discovered in his home and the garage, he should have insisted on a thorough search of his property, which he obviously couldn't do himself as it would add suspicion of foul play. Although, since he is President, he has a security clearance at a level which would allow him to handle classified documents. It would have been better for the whole mess to have come out at one time rather that trickle out allowing the media a new news story each time more documents were found.
I posted this a couple of times already. Neither Biden nor Trump should have had classified documents in their personal possession at a time when neither of them was in office. It is clear that the handling and security of government classified documents needs to be seriously tightened.
My one other thought has to do with the FBI taking Biden's personal notes which I cannot imagine were classified. But then, the FBI took more than classified government documents from Mar-a-Lago according to the media and Trump. At least they are being consistent.
Note: For those of you who claim all I ever do is cut and paste, none of what I posted here besides the one quoted partial sentence was even remotely cut and pasted. So there!
