After the publication of new details about the FBI investigations against his predecessor Donald Trump, US President Joe Biden commented on his own handling of secret documents. “I have a separate room in my home that is completely secure,” Biden said on Friday after a journalist’s question. “I’m taking home today’s PDB (President’s Daily Brief). It’s locked, one person is with me, the military, and I’m reading it. Then I lock it up again and give it back.”

The top secret report contains the most important current findings of the US secret services every day. It is recreated every morning and given to the President. When asked if it was appropriate to take classified papers home, Biden said it depends on the type of documents.
