Investigation into Biden's home's confidential files is ongoing.

President Joe Biden's handling of confidential materials is being looked into by a special counsel that US Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed.

The probe will be led by Robert Hur, a former senior justice department official from the Trump administration.

Recently, Mr. Biden's house and an office he utilized following his stint as vice president were discovered to contain classified documents.

Mr. Biden will fully cooperate with the probe, according to the White House.

The revelation of the records has been described as a political setback for Mr. Biden since it coincides with an ongoing investigation into the suspected improper handling of secret information by former President Donald Trump.
