HOUSTON, US (AA) - More details on a handful of classified documents found in a private office from US President Joe Biden's time as vice president were revealed Tuesday.

The sensitive materials were discovered in an office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, D.C. on Nov. 2 and included 10 documents covering topics related to Ukraine, Iran and the UK, a source disclosed to CNN.

The documents included US intelligence memos and briefing materials dated between 2013 and 2016, according to the source, and were found in three or four boxes also containing unclassified papers that fall under the Presidential Records Act.

The source told CNN that a personal lawyer for Biden was closing out the office that Biden used as part his work with the University of Pennsylvania. The lawyer saw a folder labeled “personal," realized there were classified documents inside, then contacted the National Archives and Records Administration to hand over the materials.

US Attorney General Merrick Garland has received a preliminary report on the documents inquiry and must decide what to do next, including whether to open a full-blown criminal investigation, according to a law enforcement source.

Garland was also personally involved in some of the key decision-making related to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raid at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home last August. Agents seized five boxes containing nearly 325 classified documents.

The FBI is also involved in the current investigation of Biden's classified materials.

According to the source, the majority of items found contained personal Biden family documents, including materials about his son Beau Biden’s funeral arrangements and condolence letters. There is no clear indication whether the boxes with classified documents also contained personal materials.

Trump lashed out at the findings on Monday through his social media page.

“When is the FBI going to raid the many homes of Joe Biden, perhaps even the White House?" said Trump. "These documents were definitely not declassified."
