A legal expert said Biden's team appears to have done "exactly what you're supposed to do."

A US attorney is reviewing a handful of classified documents found at President Joe Biden's former office in Washington, CBS News reported Monday.

In a statement, Richard Sauber, special counsel to President Biden, said the White House is cooperating with the National Archives and the Justice Department on the matter.

"The documents were discovered when the president's personal attorneys were packing files housed in a locked closet to prepare to vacate office space at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, DC," Sauber said. Biden held a position at the center, run by the University of Pennsylvania, from 2017 to 2019.

The documents "were not the subject of any previous request or inquiry by the Archives," Sauber noted and were immediately handed over to the record-keeping agency.

The Washington Post on Monday evening reported that roughly 10 documents were found at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Engagement, citing a person familiar with the probe. The White House Counsel's Office notified the archives upon the discovery and the agency quickly took control of the records, Sauber told the outlet.

The documents were found shortly before Attorney general Merrick Garland named former federal prosecutor Jack Smith as special counsel to oversee two Trump-related investigations in mid-November.

Former President Donald Trump immediately pounced on the story. "When is the FBI going to raid the many homes of Joe Biden, perhaps even the White House?" he posted on his social media network.

But Bradley P. Moss, a national security lawyer, told Insider that so far this looks like a routine matter with no allegation of criminal wrongdoing. He contrasted what we know about the case with that being built against Trump, who held boxes of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort even after their return had been demanded by the National Archives.

"Biden's team did exactly what you're supposed to do," Moss said. "When you find improperly stored classified documents, you immediately notify the government - and you turn it over immediately."

Classified documents are routinely misplaced, and so far this looks to be a routine investigation, perhaps motivated in part by a desire by the Department of Justice to show it is impartial, Moss said. The nature of the investigation would change if the US attorney in charge of reviewing the documents, Matt Lausch, a Trump appointee, were to uncover any evidence that Biden or his staff misled the National Archives.

"The reason Donald Trump is in criminal jeopardy right now isn't just because of the documents being improperly stored. It was the obstruction," Moss said. "That is why it has gotten to the point it has, where we're looking at the real possibility of a criminal indictment."

Dora Hates You

1) How long have those documents been there illegally (obviously for a VERY long time)?

2) Why were they there illegally?

3) Who knew they were there illegally?

4) Biden obviously knew they were there illegally.

5) How many people have had direct access to them including foreign nationals?

Enquiring minds want to know!

Not really, they did what they were supposed to do when they found them.



-------------------------
I was right.

They have been 'found' many many times to date....

The door was just closed again and again and again.

Liar!

Yes. it sure does make him an asshole...and an extreme hypocrite.

Fish Zero!

-------------------------
I was right.

The optics are bad, and pretty much take the teeth out of the Maralago documents discovery.

Neither of these people should have had classified documents in their private offices. Period.

Exactly!

Not surprising that some people are defending and making excuses. It's ok as long as it's their side doing it....

-------------------------
Specializing in sarcasm and condescending rhetoric since 1971.

Trump took them and wouldn't give them back. It's not the same by a long shot.

As far as defending, we will see what happens. If Biden did it intentionally, he needs to pay the price.



-------------------------
I was right.

Biden has had those documents for YEARS!

YEARS!

ASSHOLE!

It's just a Biden troll while Trump gets charged *












* remember that one?

One guy intentionally stole classified documents, stashed them at his private residence, and lied to authorities about it.
Kinda a lot different

Sure, I agree, but to the average mouth breathing American, they are the same.

And I stand by my comment that neither of them should have had the documents. Why are there not better safeguards in place? If the material is of no consequence, then declassify it. If it's classified, then it should have a strict chain of custody. Seems straightforward.

I agree RT - the circumstances are certainly different, Biden wasn't obstructing and in fact self reported. But, the possession of such documents is questionable and there should be an investigation to determine any wrongdoing and potential damage.

Or, maybe Obama thought about declassifying those documents...yeah, that's the ticket!

LOL @ the brainwashed MAGA cult getting upset over this.

Biden has had those documents for YEARS!

YEARS!

Don't tell me or ANYONE that he didn't know or it was a mistake.

If he didn't know then tell us all why they were in a special locked closet (with OTHER documents)?

Nope!

This was exactly the same as Trump.
