US Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed a special counsel to investigate President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents.
Robert Hur, a former senior justice department official during the Trump presidency, will lead the investigation.
Classified files were recently found in Mr Biden’s home and at an office he used after his term as vice-president.
The White House said Mr Biden will fully cooperate with the investigation.
The discovery of the documents have been called a political embarrassment for Mr Biden, as it comes during an ongoing investigation into former President Donald Trump’s own alleged mishandling of classified files.
