White House lawyers reportedly requested the FBI search that uncovered a fourth batch of misplaced classified documents inside President Biden's private residence on Friday.
Justice Department officials had previously stated that the 13-hour search of Biden's Wilmington, Delaware home was "consensual," but it was unclear which party had initiated it. It now appears that the White House requested the search of its own accord, NBC News reported, citing White House sources.
Friday's batch of documents was the fourth to be found since November, and the third to be found inside Biden's Wilmington home.
"On Jan. 20, 2023, the FBI executed a planned, consensual search of the President's residence in Wilmington, Delaware," Joseph D. Fitzpatrick, an assistant U.S. attorney to U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois John Lausch, told Fox News Saturday.
