Joe Biden’s lawyers found out a second batch of “confidential” documents in his offices. The discovery comes a few days after the discovery of the ten files that surfaced at the Washington office. That went back to 2013-2016 when he was Vice President to Barack Obama. The news was revealed by NBC. And the White House is in great trouble. Because in the meantime, Donald Trump is under federal investigation for those found Mar-a-Lago. Which, however, were the subject of an investigation by the National Archives. But the difference is elusive in the controversies unleashed by Republicans. They are calling for the appointment of a super prosecutor to investigate the matter. While the President of United States he limited himself to saying that he was “surprised” by the find.

Degree of secrecy, number and whereabouts of the documents are not known. It’s not even clear when they were discovered. The find of those in the office of Washington it goes back up November 2, just before the midterm elections. Paralegals combed through the places where the documents were located. The research was described as “exhaustive”. And a full report on the documents found is expected in the coming days. Biden’s spokeswoman Karine Jean Pierre he dribbled the questions without ever going into detail. “I’m not going to answer that question, there’s a case going on,” she limited herself to saying.

He, too, has intervened in the last few days Donald Trump Jr: «We were told for months that this was treason and reason for it impeachment proceedings and earned death penalty. But now I have the feeling that nothing will happen.’
