NOW: Attorney General Merrick Garland is making a statement

US Attorney General Merrick Garland is making a statement at the Justice Department. The department did not say what the subject of the statement will be. 

The comments come as the White House confirmed that President Joe Biden’s aides located Obama-era documents with classified markings at two locations inside his home in Wilmington, Delaware.

CNN reported Wednesday that Biden’s legal team had found another batch of classified documents in a search that began after classified documents were found at his former think tank office in Washington in early November.

Garland has asked the US attorney in Chicago to review the matter, a source familiar with the matter previously told CNN, a process that is still in a preliminary stage. That US attorney, John Lausch Jr., has already completed the initial part of his inquiry, a source familiar with his work told CNN. He has provided his preliminary findings to Garland, the source said.

Several people associated with Biden have been interviewed as part of the Justice Department investigation into the discovery of classified documents from his time as vice president, according to two people briefed on the matter.
