'Fundamentally, the White House is under pressure to demonstrate that the president has not condemned Trump for careless handling of the nation’s secrets while being haphazard about such material himself,' writes StCollinson | Analysis
It won’t be as “easy” as President Joe Biden hopes to quell the furor over classified documents unearthed in his post-vice presidential office. Republicans are already making sure of that, belatedly voicing concern over secret material discovered outside the White House – after energetically dismissing ex-President Donald Trump’s far greater transgressions. The disclosures couldn’t have come at a worse time for Biden.
Trump, for instance, kept hundreds of classified documents – including some with the highest security designations – that should, by law, have been handed back to the federal government. This includes more than 100 documents that were seized in a court-approved search of his property by FBI agents last year.
