Experts and former officials weighed in on the FBI’s search targeting President Joe Biden’s home, saying that the president may have consented to the search because of the threat of a search warrant.
“DOJ took possession of materials it deemed within the scope of its inquiry, including six items consisting of documents with classification markings and surrounding materials, some of which were from the President’s service in the Senate and some of which were from his tenure as Vice President,” Bob Bauer, Biden’s personal lawyer, said in a statement on Saturday, confirming the search. “DOJ also took for further review personally handwritten notes from the vice-presidential years.”
