The President said: "My lawyer has reviewed other places where documents from my time as vice president were stored, and they finished the review last night.
"They discovered a small number of documents of classified marking in storage areas and file cabinets in my home and my personal library. This was done in the case of the Biden Penn Center.
"The Department of Justice was immediately notified. And the lawyers arranged for the Department of Justice to take possession of the documents.
"So you're gonna see, we're gonna see all this unfold, I'm confident." Robert Hur, a prosecutor who has worked on terrorism and corporate fraud, will lead the investigation into the documents, found in his personal library and garage.

New House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican, called on Congress to investigate.
