Richard Sauber, a special counsel to President Biden who was reportedly hired by the White House in May of 2022 to assist in the administration’s response to any potential Republican-led investigations, confirmed to CBS News that the classified documents were discovered on Nov. 2, 2022.

Biden’s a Democrat and Trump’s a Republican?
Plugs has had 50 years to have collected various documents.
Trump was PRESIDENT - for a mere 4.
The cover story omits a key distinction: As President, Trump had the authority to declassify any documents, Biden did not.
And Trump did WH business at Mar a Lago and had a SCIF
Not VP Biden in an office drawer
Watch the pretzel logic that will come out of this.....all by the lib media and the dialog will almost word for word with what the Whitehouse says.
No one so far, has suggested that Biden has a safe or SCIF...so I’m assuming the documents were just in cardboard box.
Now...only an odd observation. Back in 2016, Biden was already having some memory problems, so I don’t think he’s the guy who pushed them into the shipping box. It begs the question...who on his staff was arranging things?
The hypocritical media is doing contortions to fin a way to make Biden’s possession of HIGHLY classified documents less meaningful and unequal to Trump.
It won’t work. When you’re explaining, or making excuses, you’re losing. Trump 1, Biden 0 on this one.
I am so over the corruption in DC and the Democrats. It is unbelievable how the Democrats have just upended our country and ignored the laws and the Constitution and THEY ARE GETTING AWAY WITH IT!!!!
Pretty much.
“Nonetheless, it is quite satisfying to watch the Biden administration eat crow.”
Not really. Since they no longer have to face voters in fair elections, they could care less...
We have a constitution, a bill of rights and thousands of laws
In Writing
And d.c. routinely ignore them every damn day.

Does anyone deny this ?
As Biden was the VP at the time, he was subject to the Federal Records Act, not Presidential Records Act.
You need to understand it's not just democrats. It's Republicans too. And it's endemic in government
Differences: Trump permitted to have docs pursuant to the Presidential Records Act; Biden as VP not covered by the PRA, and federal law Biden violated here has a criminal enforcement provision, unlike the PRA.
It’s worse for Biden because the VP does not have the power to declassify documents where the president does.
CBS news was quick to “report” that team Biden immediately self-reported the discovery, unlike Trump, who refused to cooperate with National Archives.
Oh I understand that alright! That’s why I say DC is corrupt absolutely.
Richard Sauber to assist in the administration’s response to any potential Republican-led investigations.
There is far more to investigate then suspected 40 years worth.
