Joe Biden classified documents incident

Between November 2022 and January 2023, about 25 to 30 classified government documents were found by President Joe Biden's lawyers in his former office at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C., and in his personal home in Wilmington, Delaware, during his time in the Senate and his vice presidency in the Obama administration.[1][2][3]

On November 2, 2022, Biden's attorneys discovered the first set of classified documents in a locked closet at the Penn Biden Center. Biden's attorneys found a second set of documents at Biden's home on December 20, and several more on January 9 and January 12, 2023. Biden's personal attorney said on January 21 that the Justice Department discovered six items and some of Biden's handwritten notes from his vice presidency.

On January 12, 2023, Attorney General Merrick Garland created a special counsel to investigate the findings.
