“The White House is working with the National Archives and the Department of Justice to uncover what appear to be documents from the Obama-Biden administration, including a small number of documents with classified markings,” the president’s lawyer said. According to CNN, there were supposed to be less than a dozen classified documents, but so far it is not known what they were about and what markings they had.

The holding of classified documents was the reason for the search of the former president’s house last year Donald Trump. The leader kept the documents – including those of the highest classification – despite several attempts by state authorities to recover them.
Trump had more than 300 such documents in his estate. The case is under investigation by the prosecutor’s office.
