Joe Biden Classified Documents Scandal: Hunter Biden Reportedly Had Access to Garage Where President Kept Government Records

President Joe Biden's classified documents scandal continues with a second batch of classified materials found in his garage in Wilmington, Delaware.

The classified documents were believed to be from Biden's time as vice president under Barack Obama's administration.

Email records showed that Hunter Biden, who is currently under federal investigation for possible tax and foreign lobbying violations, may have access to where the classified documents were found, Fox News reported.

According to the report, the president's son listed his father's Wilmington address as his own permanent address for his credit card and Apple account in 2018 and 2019, respectively.

Donald Trump Jr. tweeted that Hunter might have access to the garage and the classified documents, given his business relations with China, Russia, and Ukraine.

The White House has already confirmed that the second batch of classified materials were found at Biden's private residence in Wilmington.

Biden acknowledged on Thursday that the classified documents were found in his personal library at his home in Delaware, while other government records were found in his garage next to his Corvette.

President Joe Biden's Classified Documents Scandal

Joe Biden's attorneys found the initial batch of government records in early November.

The first batch of classified documents was found at his former think tank office at the University of Pennsylvania in Washington. Biden had previously worked there while serving as a vice president.

A source familiar with the matter told CNN that the items discovered in Biden's former private office include 10 classified documents, including U.S. intelligence memos and briefing materials covering topics such as Iran, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom under the Obama administration.

Special counsel to Biden, Richard Sauber, said the administration immediately contacted the Justice Department and turned over the materials to National Archives.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has already asked John Lausch Jr., the U.S. attorney in Chicago, to review the matter.

CNN reported that Lausch has completed the initial part of his inquiry and already submitted his preliminary findings to Garland, who is now facing a critical decision on how to proceed, including whether to open a full-blown criminal probe or not.

The discovery of the classified documents drew a comparison from the case of former President Donald Trump.

One of the differences between Biden's and Trump's cases of classified documents was how they were returned or handed over to the National Archives.

Archives contacted Trump officials soon after he left office in 2021, informing him that the agency believed some documents were missing and requesting their return.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) learned that Trump had not fully complied with the subpoena for the return of the documents, leading to the search of the former president's Mar-a-Lago property.

On the other hand, Biden's classified documents were immediately handed over to National Archives upon discovery.

The agency was unaware of the missing documents and had not made any request to the president for their return. Biden called Trump's handling of classified documents "irresponsible."

However, Rep. Lauren Boebert, a close Trump ally, asked in a tweet how many more batches of classified documents would be found before Biden gets "raided by the FBI."

Classified Documents Handling

The Justice Department is currently probing Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago documents, appointing Jack Smith as its special counsel to oversee the investigation.

Trump and his aides resisted the government's efforts to retrieve all the documents from his administration while Biden's lawyers reported the issue.

The White House noted that it has fully cooperated on the matter, with searches conducted in Biden's Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach houses.

Trump's government files were found at his Florida club and residence when he left office, with some stored in a locked storage closet.

Meanwhile, Biden's legal team found the documents in a locked closet in an office at a Washington think tank office. Some of the materials found with the classified documents were personal records.

It is unclear how the government records from the Obama administration ended up in the think tank office and the president's home.

Biden earlier said he was "surprised to learn" that there were government records in his office.
