The Department of Justice has launched an investigation into classified documents from Joe Biden's Vice Presidency found in a Washington D.C. office for his think tank.
Attorney General Merrick Garland has asked the U.S. attorney in Chicago to review 10 files discovered by Biden's personal attorneys at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement six days before the midterms in November.
It is unclear what the classified documents contain, but follows the raid on Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort last year and comes as Republicans begin their investigations into the Biden family.
GOP Rep. James Comer, Chairman of the Oversight Committee, said late Monday he would send a letter to the White House and National Archives looking for answers.
The report stated that the documents were found while Biden's attorneys were packing up the office to leave.
The files were said to be in a folder inside a locked closet in a box with other unclassified documents.
The CBS report states that Biden is unaware of the contents and there will now be a review how the documents got to the office a mile away from the White House.
