Classified files found at Biden’s former private office

Republicans, who recently took over the US House of Representatives and have pledged to conduct investigations into the Biden administration, have accused the president of hypocrisy.There are, however, key differences between Mr Biden and Mr Trump’s cases. Mr Trump’s inquiry deals with a greater number of classified documents, including 18 marked top secret. Federal prosecutors allege that Mr Trump’s legal team did not adequately co-operate with the National Archives to properly return the documents, prompting a historic FBI raid of his Mar-a-Lago estate.In a statement to the New York Times, the White House said the president’s lawyers alerted the National Archives as soon as they recovered the materials and the agency retrieved the materials the next morning.
