The voluntary interview was a part of the special counsel’s probe, which began when documents from Biden’s time as a U.S. Senator were found in his home in Delaware and his private office in Washington D.C. The interview may be a sign that the investigation is nearing its end.

“As we have said from the beginning, the President and the White House are cooperating with this investigation, and as it has been appropriate, we have provided relevant updates publicly, being as transparent as we can consistent with protecting and preserving the integrity of the investigation,” Ian Sams, spokesperson for the White House, said in a statement. “We would refer other questions to the Justice Department at this time.”

In January 2023, Biden told reporters that the documents found in his home and office were given to the National Archives and the Justice Department.

This probe marks the third recent Justice Department investigation into handling classified documents. In June 2023, former President Donald Trump was charged after the National Archives retrieved 15 boxes containing sensitive government documents form his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.

Also in June, former Vice President Mike Pence’s team got word from the DOJ that it would not file criminal charges after close to a dozen classified documents were found in his home in Indiana.

According to an ABC News report, sources say the investigation into Biden’s handling of sensitive government documents could wrap up by the end of the year.
