President Biden's home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, was searched by FBI agents on Wednesday morning, the president's lawyer said. It comes as Biden faces a continuing investigation into classified documents found in his possession.
In a statement, Bob Bauer, Biden's personal attorney, said the FBI search had been conducted without advance public notice, and that the Biden administration was cooperating. A source told NBC News a search warrant was not obtained because Biden had consented to the FBI's actions.
