Biden thanked Delery for his service. “From his work during those early days on COVID-19 and efforts to get life-saving vaccines to the American public to the implementation of major legislative accomplishments such as the American Rescue Plan, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and the Inflation Reduction Act, he has been an integral part of my team and will be missed throughout the Administration,” Biden added.

Biden’s personal lawyer, Bob Bauer, is handling the classified documents matter.

In 2009, Delery initially joined the Obama administration as the chief of staff and counselor to the United States Deputy Attorney General. He later served as a senior counselor to the United States Attorney General.
