" 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 , " Mr Sams said.
" We would refer other questions to the Justice Department at This Time . "
The documents were found in an office used by Mr Biden by aides after he left the White House as vice-president to former president Barack Obama .
A later search of his home in Delaware turned up additional documents in his garage.
