More classified material found at Biden home

Five additional pages of classified material have been found at Joe Biden's family home in Delaware, the White House said on Saturday in a new twist in a politically sensitive affair for the president. Biden said he had no intention of keeping any classified documents. White House lawyer Richard Sauber said the latest papers were found after he visited the home on Thursday. As these lawyers lacked the necessary security clearance to read it, they notified the Justice Department, Sauber said.
