No classified documents were found during an FBI search of President Joe Biden's home in Rehoboth, Delaware, his lawyer says.
In a statement, Mr Biden's attorney said Wednesday's search was "planned" with the president's "full support".
The nearly four-hour search of the property related to a wider probe into the handling of classified documents.
The FBI has not commented on the search. As it was consensual, no search warrant was sought.
Mr Biden's lawyer, Bob Bauer, said the search was carried out "without advance public notice" in the interests of "operational security and integrity".
Following the search - which lasted from 0830 to 1200 local time - Mr Bauer said that "no documents with classified markings were found".
