Republicans on Saturday reacted to the FBI finding more classified documents at President Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Del., home after others had been discovered there and at a private think tank office in Washington, D.C., in November.
“On Friday, DOJ conducted a comprehensive search of the President’s Wilmington residence, and it concluded late Friday night. The statement from the President’s personal attorney details how that search was conducted, what materials were reviewed, and what was found. Neither the President nor the First Lady were present during the search,” White House Special Counsel to the President Richard Sauber said Saturday evening.
Former President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform to comment on the burgeoning controversy.
“They created this Documents mess for themselves by being so totally DERANGED about me, and I did NOTHING WRONG!!!” he wrote.
AGAIN?!? How in the HELL do they keep screwing this up?? As Biden repeatedly says, ‘everyone knows how seriously I take classified documents.’ Yes. Yes we do,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) added.

“Think about this—@JoeBiden has had classified documents lying around his home for YEARS with no explanation or accountability as to why,” Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) noted.
“BREAKING: An additional 6 classified documents were found at Biden’s residence. How many more are there, Joe? And in how many different places?” asked Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.).
“The DOJ quietly raided Biden’s Delaware home on Friday and found MORE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS. Will Biden be charged with obstruction of justice for continuing to LIE and hide documents? Why did the White House LIE multiple times about there being no additional documents?” noted Rep. Mary Miller (R-Ill.).
