The Biden administration did not seriously plan to go public with the news of President Joe Biden’s lawyers discovering classified documents in his possession, at least until the news was leaked elsewhere, The New York Times reported.
Hours after Biden’s classified documents were discovered at the Penn Biden Center on Nov. 2, the president’s personal attorney Bob Bauer and senior communications adviser Anita Dunn drafted a statement about the discovery, The New York Times reported, citing two people familiar with the situation.
Bauer and Dunn, however, “agreed that it would be made public only if someone else, like archives officials, disclosed it first,” according to the outlet.
