Instead, they were\u00a0spending the weekend at another home they own in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, classified materials were found at both the\u00a0Delaware property and\u00a0the Penn Biden Center in Washington.<\/p>\n<p>The first batch of\u00a0classified government records was discovered on Nov. 2 at the\u00a0Penn Biden Center, where Biden previously had an office\u00a0after his term as vice president under Obama. While they were found just before\u00a0the midterm elections, the public was not informed until two months later.<\/p>\n<p>According to the White House, that initial discovery\u00a0prompted a follow-up search leading to more classified documents being found on\u00a0Dec. 20 in the garage of the president\u2019s Wilmington home. On Jan. 11 and Jan. 12, more documents were found in\u00a0the president\u2019s home library.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s personal attorneys previously conducted a search of the Rehoboth Beach residence and said they did not find any official documents or classified records, <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-politics-delaware-0827b59ee141b33af95023377713e075\">The Associated Press<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4988296\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/biden-wilmington-1200x800-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy wp-image-4988296 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/biden-wilmington-1200x800-1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4988296 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/biden-wilmington-1200x800-1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> Classified documents were discovered at President Joe Biden\u2019s home in Wilmington, Del., shown here on Jan. 15, 2023.
