Trump responds to Biden classified document discovery, asks when FBI will raid his ‘many homes’

Former President Trump responded Monday to the breaking news that the Justice Department is reviewing classified documents from President Biden’s tenure as vice president which were found last fall in a private office Biden had previously used.

“When is the FBI going to raid the many homes of Joe Biden, perhaps even the White House? These documents were definitely not declassified,” Trump said on his Truth Social accountSharing an article CBS News – Document discovery

The Obama-Biden era documents were found by the president’s attorneys while clearing out an office used by Biden when he served as an honorary professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, according to Biden’s special counsel Richard Sauber.

Biden’s legal team notified the National Archives, which took possession of the materials, Sauber said. According to reports, the documents are being viewed by the U.S. Attorney General for Chicago with the cooperation of the White House.

Trump was referring to the FBI’s execution of a search warrant at his Mar-a-Lago residence last summer, where investigators found over a hundred classified documents kept past Trump’s time in the White House.

Trump is now being investigated for his handling classified materials.

“We were told for months that this was treasonous… grounds for impeachment… & meriting the death penalty, yet I have a feeling nothing will happen!?” wrote Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. on Twitter, retweeting The CBS article.

Notably, Biden’s team notified the Archives and turned over the documents upon discovery, while Trump apparently kept classified materials even after requests from the Archives to return them.

The Presidential Records Act mandates that the presidential and vice-presidential records must be handed to the National Archives at end of an administration in order to preserve and protect classified material.
