Six days before the midterm elections, the White House reported on Monday, President Joe Biden's lawyers discovered "a small number of documents with classified markings," dating to his time as vice president, in an office at a Washington, D.C., think tank that he used from mid-2017 until the beginning of his 2020 campaign. Whoops.
Former President Donald Trump predictably seized upon that revelation as evidence that the FBI's investigation of the government records he kept when he left the White House in January 2021 is much ado about nothing. "When is the FBI going to raid the many houses of Joe Biden, perhaps even the White House?" Trump asked on Truth Social. "These documents were definitely not declassified."
