Biden aides located Obama-era classified documents in Wilmington home, White House confirms



President Joe Biden’s aides located documents with classified markings at two locations inside his home in Wilmington, Delaware, the White House counsel’s office said in a statement Thursday.


The documents were located in a storage area in the garage and then an adjacent room, the statement reads.


Biden took a question on the statement following remarks on the economy Thursday morning. When asked by a reporter what he was thinking by keeping classified documents in his garage “next to his Corvette,” Biden said:


“My Corvette’s in a locked garage, OK? So, it’s not like they’re sitting out on the street.”

The documents were located following a search of the president’s homes in Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. No classified documents were located in Rehoboth, the statement says.


The documents were found “among personal and political papers,” the statement reads.


Lawyers for Biden concluded their review of the Delaware homes on Wednesday evening.


“As was done in the case of the Penn-Biden Center, the Department of Justice was immediately notified, and the lawyers arranged for the Department of Justice to take possession of these documents,” the statement reads.


A person familiar with the situation said after the statement was released that in the case of the classified documents initially discovered at the Penn-Biden Center, Biden lawyers first notified the National Archives – not the Justice Department – which then in turn notified the Justice Department.


Biden’s lawyers followed “proper protocol” by first notifying the Archives with the first batch of classified documents, the person said, but because the Justice Department subsequently got involved and the president’s lawyers were then in touch with them, in the second instance, the lawyers informed the Justice Department.


The White House said it will continue to cooperate with the review by the Justice Department.


Biden largely read from the same prepared statement from the counsel’s office when speaking to reporters Thursday morning.


CNN reported Wednesday that Biden’s legal team had found another batch of classified documents in a search that began after classified documents were found at his former think tank office in Washington in early November.

Takeuchi Yuko Death Remains a Mystery for Japan

The death of Japanese actress Takeuchi Yuko by an apparent suicide on Sunday has prompted an outpouring of grief and reflection from both ordinary fans and industry insiders. Age 40 at the time of her death, Takeuchi had been the top of her profession for two decades, appearing in a steady stream of films, TV dramas and, that all-important barometer of popularity in the local entertainment world, TV commercials. The latest in a procession of prominent Japanese talents to take their own lives, including actor Miura Haruma and actress Ashina Sei, Takeuchi was arguably the biggest name and her death is causing the biggest shock waves. After rising to stardom in the 1999 NHK morning drama “Asuka” as a teenager, Takeuchi stayed in high demand, with her sunny smile and glowing face seen on everything from film posters and magazine covers to beer ads. “I’m truly shocked,” said one commentator on a TV Asahi news story. “I loved her beautiful appearance and absorbing performances; she was the v

In a survey held by Oricon Japan last month, some 500 Japanese females aged 10 to 50-plus chose the face of the Japanese female celebrity that they want to have the most. Topping the ranking is actress Keiko Kitagawa, who was also the first in last year’s ranking. Here are the top 10 Japanese celebrities whose beauty is most envied among women in Japan. This consecutive win not only marks Kitagawa’s sixth No. 1 place in this ranking that has been running for the 14th time, it is also the first time since 2009 when an actress who is also a mum topped the ranking. That winner 11 years ago was none other than Nanako Matsushima, who is known for starring in the 1998 horror film Ring. Although Kitagawa had just given birth to a girl last September, her beauty remains dazzling as she attended a movie promotion event earlier this month, after her maternity leave. The survey participants have described her looks as “perfect” and “gorgeous”, and even wanted to “live a day with this face”. Had
