- Biden's personal attorney, Bob Bauer, said in a statement that the FBI had searched Biden's beach house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware with the President's full support and cooperation.
- Bauer: "Under DOJ’s standard procedures, in the interests of operational security and integrity, it sought to do this work without advance public notice, and we agreed to cooperate. The search today is a further step in a thorough and timely DOJ process we will continue to fully support and facilitate. We will have further information at the conclusion of today’s search."
- Axios reported today that an omission in Attorney General Merrick Garland’s timeline of Biden’s document discoveries and disclosure may invite more pressure on the White House’s version of events and undermine Biden’s “transparency defence."
- According to Axios, Garland's Jan. 12 timeline of the case "appears to have omitted the FBI search the Penn Biden Center offices in mid-November."
