The President of the United States, Joe Biden, said, on Thursday (19), that he “does not regret” how he handled confidential documents found in his home and former office, and that he believes that the matter will be resolved.
“I think you’ll find there’s nothing there,” Biden told reporters as he surveyed damage from a California storm. “I don’t regret it. I’m following what the lawyers have told me they want me to do. That’s exactly what we’re doing. There is nothing there.”
Last week, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a special adviser to investigate the matter after confidential documents were found at Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, and in a Washington office he used before becoming president.
“We are cooperating fully and look forward to resolving this quickly,” Biden said.
Biden said he was following his lawyers’ instructions after “a handful of documents were filed in the wrong place.” He said the documents were immediately turned over to the National Archives after they were found.
The White House has been on the defensive since initial revelations on Jan. 9 that the documents had been discovered.
Biden’s legal team acknowledged last week that confidential documents related to his time as vice president under Barack Obama were found at his Delaware home, including some in the garage.
Aides previously found another batch of documents at his residence and at a Washington think tank with which he was associated.
