Former President Donald Trump responded to the CBS News report claiming Attorney General Merrick Garland assigned a U.S. attorney to review roughly ten classified documents found in an office once used by President Joe Biden.
“When is the FBI going to raid the many homes of Joe Biden, perhaps even the White House,” Trump questioned on his Truth Social Monday night, adding, “These documents were definitely not declassified.”
Trump was referring to when his home in Florida, Mar-A-Lago, was raided by FBI agents mid last year. The FBI searched his residence for classified material that the former president could have removed from the White House when he moved out. The search reportedly included agents going through Melania’s bedroom and closets. Following the raid, some of the seized materials the FBI took included over 50 empty folders.
However, the Monday night report from CBS News explained that there had been a U.S. attorney assigned to look over “documents marked classified” that were found at Biden’s vice-presidential office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, which is within close proximity to Capitol Hill:
Attorney General Merrick Garland has assigned the U.S. attorney in Chicago to review documents marked classified that were found at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, two sources with knowledge of the inquiry told CBS News. The roughly 10 documents are from President Biden’s vice-presidential office at the center, the sources said. CBS News has learned the FBI is also involved in the U.S. attorney’s inquiry.

Benedict Biden’s theft of classified Federal documents is a very SERIOUS CRIME, because unlike with Trump, the VP does NOT have the power to declassify, only the POTUS! Plus, these, unlike Trump’s, were classified FAR HIGHER than Top Secret! He should be IMMEDIATELY IMPEACHED!
I’d be afraid to look in Jill’s panty drawer myself.
Who knows what would be in there.
Nobody in FBI is kinky enough to want to dig thru Doctor Jill’s underwear drawer?
The msm is already getting their stories straight.
They are saying that this is not the same thing.....
Watch it disappear....
The FBI is the Democrat Party’s Stasi. Trump nominated Wray to be the Director of the FBI. This country has been paying for this incredibly stupid decision.
I presume the documents were stashed when Biden was VP, not POTUS. If so, unlike Trump, Biden did not have the authority to declassify documents, so taking the documents from the White House and hiding them was obviously a crime.
FBI is also involved in the U.S. attorney’s inquiry.
Watch it disappear
Hillary winks
Coming up next, Obama will "remember" that he declassified those documents.
John Bolton just said on Greta Van Sustern was that the difference was that Biden’s attorney’s didn’t fight the Archives and Trump’s did. In other words, he was saying nothingburger on Biden but Trump, guilty..What a lying little Hitler (mustache similarity).
It’s not suspicious at all that he’d have to make 12 times his salary to own his assets.
And he was raised up in the Black community.
And his kids “work” at non profits.
Lots of Porsches floating around at their Mansions, too.
Biden was selling nuclear secrets to China, and nuclear codes.
Keep repeating that.
A certain liberal said that Trump should receive the death penalty for having classified docs at his SECURE hotel. Make Biden’s execution a tv showing.
Trump’s ‘stupid’ personnel decisions arise from the reason why he was elected—he was a total political outsider. And unlike Eisenhower, he did not have the goodwill or support of the Republican establishment.
Having no direct experience in national government, he depended upon the ‘kindness of strangers’ when it came things like appointments to different positions. He was obviously ill-advised by people who he thought he could trust.
Those mistakes cost him and us.
I offer this not so much as an excuse, but as an explanation.
DOJ and MSM are plotting the response now.
It will go something like this
“Trump had highly classified things like NUCLEAR SECRETS (we can’t even talk about it!!!), which its possible were being released to PUTIN. Joe’s documents appear to his 2005 annual physical results and Jill’s favorite banana-bread recipe.”
Its far more than that. in January 2017, Trump walked into a minefield. His "supporter" Jeff Sessions, with the help of Mitch McConnell and the Gang of Eight, stabbed Trump in the back with his pathetic "recusal" from all things "Russia-gat."
That opened the door to 2+ years of fighting Russia-gate. then came the Ukraine-manufactured scandal of impeachment.
So Trump was ALWAYS on defensive. As to cabinet choices - McConnell made clear to him WHO the Senate would confirm. NOT who Trump wanted.
You should note the only few loyal and publicly vocal Trump apppointees in the Whitehouse and Intel Agencies were "acting" positions - people like Richard Grennell and Kash Patel. They came towards the end of his Admin and never went through Senate approval.
The Big question, for me.
How many people, and their names, had keys to that office
I wager that office was like a post office box.
You left a file in the office.
Someone else, with a key, lets themselves in and takes the file
.
That makes sense.
Anything for Hunter.
