Biden lawyers handed over boxes of documents in BOSTON: Latest twist in classified files saga reveals they were handled elsewhere before they reached the Penn Biden Center
- The National Archives released emails from the moment the Biden documents were discovered
- There came a day when the FBI searched the house of Mike Pence in Indiana
- An email to Biden’s lawyers referenced boxes of material in Boston
A new detail in the information network about the Biden document trail came to light Friday when the National Archives published email traffic referencing documents in Boston.
The email, from National Archives attorney Gary Stern, came days after classified material was discovered in the offices of Biden’s DC think tank at the Penn Biden Center.
Biden and federal officials located documents on Penn Biden and Biden’s Wilmington home, and searched his Delaware beach home after the initial discovery on Penn Biden days before the November election.
It came amid more twists and turns in the widening saga, as the FBI found another document marked classified at the home of former Vice President Mike Pence, and lawyers for former President Donald Trump turned over another folder marked classified.
Recently disclosed email traffic points to boxes of Biden documents that were in his lawyer’s Boston office.
“Make sure the boxes in your Boston office remain secure in an enclosed space and are not accessed by anyone,” Stern wrote to Biden’s attorneys Bob Bauer and Patrick Moore.
That follows a report last month by CNN that Penn Biden had sent Biden speeches and ‘reference material’ to Moore’s Boston law office.
The email is included in a 74-page file released Friday by the Archives as part of a Freedom of Information Act request. They track the response after the first classified documents were discovered. Special counsel Robert Hur is investigating the matter of the Biden documents.
Moore responds and offers to bring in a legal partner “who can work with you tomorrow to access our office and pick up materials there.”
Other emails deal with matters as mundane as arranging parking during pickups.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined to comment when asked about it at Friday’s news briefing.
The email came five days after documents marked as classified were found at the Penn Biden Center in DC.
“Make sure the boxes in your Boston office remain secure in an enclosed space,” the Archives lawyer wrote.
The FBI searched the Indiana home of former Vice President Mike Pence for more classified documents
The FBI will arrive at Mike Pence’s Indiana home on Friday morning to search for classified documents, according to local media.
The development came a day the FBI searched Mike Pence’s Indiana home and discovered an additional document marked classified, according to Pence’s attorney. Pence’s team had previously uncovered classified material after the Biden situation came to light.
There was no immediate indication that the material in Boston included items marked as classified.
Meanwhile, lawyers for former President Donald Trump turned over another folder with classified marks to the government, ABC News reported.
It was discovered “at the Mar-a-Lago complex” and not inside the storage facility that the FBI searched under a subpoena.
More than 300 documents marked as classified were discovered at Trump’s Florida club following the search this summer. Trump has tried to remove previously discovered empty folders marked classified, saying he liked to keep them as keepsakes.
