US President Joe Biden announced that he had no knowledge of the content of secret official documents dating back to the period in which he was vice president during the era of Barack Obama, and they were finally found in a research center in Washington from which he sometimes worked.

US President Joe Biden announced on Tuesday that he had no knowledge of the content of secret official documents dating back to the period when he was vice president during the era of Barack Obama (2009-2017), and they were finally found in a research center in Washington from which he sometimes worked.
Biden told reporters - at the conclusion of a US-Canadian-Mexican summit held in Mexico City, "I was informed of what was found and was surprised when I learned that documents related to the government were transferred to that office. But I do not know what those documents contain," stressing that his lawyers "will cooperate." fully" by examining these documents.

Earlier Tuesday, the Associated Press quoted the White House as saying that the US Department of Justice is reviewing a group of potentially secret documents that were found in an office belonging to President Joe Biden in Washington, D.C., prior to assuming his duties as president.
Richard Sauber, Biden's special advisor, stated that the documents were marked "confidential" and fell into the hands of the current president's lawyer when he vacated his office, after the end of his term as former Vice President Barack Obama in 2017.
The Consultant added that the National Archives and Records Administration was informed immediately and the documents were handed over to them the following day.

On the other hand, US media quoted the new Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, as describing finding secret documents in an office that belonged to Biden as a very disturbing matter.
McCarthy added sarcastically, "These secret documents were in Biden's possession, so what did he say then about the other president who had confidential documents?", referring to former President Donald Trump.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives also expressed his astonishment at the claim that the incident is different because the lawyers handed over the documents immediately to the competent authorities, wondering about the fact that the documents were found after all these years.
