White House evades questions about additional FBI searches for POTUS Biden documents
Ian Sams, a spokesman for the White House general counsel, spoke with reporters Wednesday afternoon, shortly after the FBI conducted a previously unannounced search of Biden's home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, earlier in the day.The FBI also searched Biden's home in Wilmington, Delaware, in November, months before it was finally disclosed to the public, and took several nonclassified documents, including handwritten notes, from Biden's time as vice president from both locations.
"I think we've been pretty transparent from the very beginning with providing information as it occurs throughout this process," Sams told reporters."We have released probably thousands of words of statements from the president's personal attorney and the White House Counsel's Office about the process."
Sams would not say if any other searches have taken place or if the Biden team was coordinating future searches with the Department of Justice. "I think we're providing information as this goes on and answering questions about the search activities as they've been happening. I don't want to speak too much to the DOJ practices in an ongoing investigation," he claimed."The president's personal lawyers have been tasked with the process of identifying locations where materials from the VP years could have been stored. They've been working in open consultation with the Department of Justice.
