Former President Donald Trump denounced reports that the Justice Department will not charge Joe Biden for mishandling classified documents while he was vice president.
Special counsel Robert Hur is expected to issue a report criticizing Biden’s keeping of classified documents in numerous unsecured locations, but he said he will not file criminal charges. reports.
“Wow! Fake News CNN just reported, via a Department of Injustice leak, that no charges will be filed in the (much bigger than mine!!!) Crooked Joe Biden documents case,” Trump said Friday at Truth Social. “We live in a very corrupt country!”
Trump also denounced “selective prosecution” and “prosecutive misconduct” at work, as he himself was criminally charged by Special Counsel Jack Smith for mishandling classified documents.
It is notable that Trump as a former president has the authority to possess classified material at Mar-a-Lago, but Biden as vice president had no authority to retain confidential documents.
Hur was appointed in January to investigate Biden’s case after classified documents from his time as vice president were found in his former office in Washington, D.C., and his garage in Wilmington, Delaware.
Biden publicly stated that he has “no regrets” for his own behavior and told the public that the document review would show that “There is no ‘there’ there.”
The White House and Biden’s counsel have long maintained that as soon as documents were discovered in the D.C. office, they notified the National Archives.
But the House Oversight Committee alleged that Biden’s senior aide inspected the classified material on March 18, 2021, two months after Biden took office – almost twenty months earlier it was claimed that they were found by the Biden team.
This is the two-tier justice system in action.
He could have papered the walls of his beach house with secret documents and this would have been the result https://t.co/xjOfehXM8s
