WASHINGTON – The FBI searched President Joe Biden's former Washington, D.C. office after the president's lawyers initially alerted the National Archives about the discovery of classified documents at the location, a person familiar with the matter said Tuesday.

No search warrant was issued in connection with the previously undisclosed action, which involved the consent of the president's legal team, said the source who is not authorized to comment publicly on the investigation.

The search was conducted in November, after lawyers discovered an initial batch of documents Nov. 2, at the think tank office that Biden used after serving as vice president.

To be clear, the FBI we’re invited by Biden’s personal lawyers to conduct the search, hence no search warrant required:

 

"This was a voluntary, proactive offer by the president's personal lawyers to DOJ to have access to the home," said White House spokesperson Ian Sams.

The prize for first a President and son duo to be under Federal Criminal Investigation goes to Donald Trump and his son Donald Trump jr.
