In a statement shared with CNN, Bob Bauer, the president's personal attorney, confirmed that "DOJ took possession of materials it deemed within the scope of its inquiry, including six items consisting of documents with classification markings and surrounding materials, some of which were from the president's service in the Senate and some of which were from his tenure as vice president."
