It has not been confirmed what Garland’s statement will be about, but it comes on the heels of revelations Biden had stored batches of classified documents from his term as vice president at his office at the Biden Penn Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington and at his Wilmington, Delaware, residence.

“Lawyers discovered among personal and political papers a small number of additional Obama-Biden Administration records with classified markings. All but one of these documents were found in storage space in the President’s Wilmington residence garage,” White House counsel Richard Sauber said in a statement Thursday.
