Once again, confidential documents have been found with US President Joe Biden from his time as vice president under Barack Obama. Biden himself claims to be surprised by the find and to have no idea of its contents.
In total, six documents with the “classified” stamp were found in Biden’s home, but nothing is known about their contents, according to US correspondent Jan Postma. “These are now six documents that were found last weekend in the library of Biden’s home in the state of Delaware,” Postma says. And what exactly he says is shrouded in mystery. We’ve heard from sources what the other documents were talking about, but nothing is clear yet.’
According to Postma, Republicans in the US are in turmoil. “They had previously said they wanted to know which people had access to Biden’s house,” she continues. “They wanted to see the visitor logs, because they were there for the taking. But now the White House says it’s a private home and there are no records. So that too will be discussed for a while.’

American expert Kenneth Manusama acknowledges that at first glance there are many similarities to the discovery of confidential documents in former President Donald Trump’s country house in Mar-a-Lago, but if you zoom in further, there really are differences. “Politically, there’s a big problem, but if we look at the details, there are big differences,” says Manusama. “Not only in terms of the number of documents, but also the state of mind.”
In total, Trump was found 200 sloppy documents, which were also up for grabs. “But he knowingly brought them from the White House, and he also discussed them with people who came to see him,” Manusama continues. They were in his office drawer. But perhaps more importantly, he knew they were there, but he also knew he had to return them.
Found
According to Manusama, the difference with Biden is that Biden’s employees found the documents during the cleaning. “To take his papers to the White House, and then they discovered the classified documents,” she says. “They handed it over to the authorities within 24 hours, and that’s where the big legal difference is.”
Manusama therefore dares to speak of obstruction by Trump. First he denied having the documents, then he handed over only part of the documents. As a result, the Ministry of Justice was forced to go to court and request a search warrant.”
