According to his personal attorney, Bob Bauer, the search was “planned.”
“Today, with the full cooperation and support of the President, the Department of Justice is conducting a planned search of his home in Rehoboth,” the attorney said. “As part of routine Department procedures and to protect the security and integrity of the operation, he has decided to carry out this task without prior public notice and we have given the go-ahead.”
“Today’s lead represents another step in a thorough and timely process by the Department of Justice, which we will continue to support and facilitate,” the statement said.
The search is the second the Justice Department has conducted at the President’s private residence. On January 20, FBI agents conducted a search of the Wilmington residence where Biden’s private attorneys had found half a dozen classified documents. That finding came on top of that made by attorneys in Biden’s office at a Washington think tank in November, but which was not announced until earlier this month.
