When asked if other properties that Biden owns have also been searched, Sams refused to answer the question. This question comes as reports have surfaced that FBI officials searched the Penn Biden Center back in Novemeber of 2022. That was only revealed recently.
“Do the American People have a right to know” reporters shouted at Sams. He had no answer. See a clip of that below…

Despite the fact that nobody from the Biden Administration, nor from the FBI mentioned the November search of the Penn Biden Center until news reports surfaced just recently, Sams claimed that Biden has been completely transparent through this entire process.

ABC’s @MaryKBruce: “You’re disclosing this search but did not disclose the FBI also searched [Biden’s] former private office…Do the American people have a right to know about that?

When asked why the search has taken so long to take place, which presumably would have given Biden and his team plenty of time to move or destroy any evidence of wrongdoing, he answered ‘that’s a good question’.
He then went on to state that Biden has been cooperating with the Justice Department from the beginning. See a clip of that below…
CBS’s @EdOKeefe: ” Why did it take so long for the search of the Rehobeth Beach residence to occur, and who today from the WH, if anyone, was there?”

The White House seems to have no answer for the preferential treatment that they continue to receive. It should be noted that no classified material was taken from the search in Rehoboth.
They are not being transparent with the American people.
