"Today, with the President's full support and cooperation, the DOJ is conducting a planned search of his home in Rehoboth, Delaware. Under DOJ's standard procedures, in the interests of operational security and integrity, it is sought to do this work without advance public notice, and we agreed to cooperate," Bauer said in a statement.
Several US media outlets confirmed that a search was underway.
In the statement, Bauer said "further information" would be provided following the conclusion of the search.
