President Joe Biden on Tuesday addressed the discovery of classified documents at a private office he used during his days in the Obama administration, saying he was “surprised” by the findings and does not know what the records contain.
“I was briefed about this discovery and surprised to learn that there were any government records that were taken there to that office,” he said during an address in Mexico City. “But I don’t know what was in the documents. My lawyers have not suggested I ask what documents they were.”
The White House announced the document discovery on Monday, saying that in November, Biden’s lawyers found a small collection of Barack Obama-era materials in a locked closet at the Penn Biden Center ― a Washington think tank that he used as an office from 2017 to 2020.
“Since that discovery,” he continued, “the president’s personal attorneys have cooperated with the archives and the Department of Justice in a process to ensure that any Obama-Biden administration documents are appropriately in the possession of the archives.”
That hasn’t stopped Republicans, including Trump, from pouncing on the news.
“When is the FBI going to raid the many houses of Joe Biden, perhaps even the White House?” Trump wrote on his social media network, Truth Social. “These documents were definitely not declassified.”

I wouldn't hate on Sleepy Joe for being demented, hate those who prop him up and make him repeat the lies they whisper into his ears

The VP can’t declassify anything.

Nice try, he was VP at the time.
I'm sure you knew that but you keep right on trolling.

Biden accidentally left some documents in a place where he was allowed to keep them.
Trump illegal removed some documents and kept them in a place where he wasn't allowed to keep them.
Comparing the two situations is like comparing someone who mistook a neighbor for a home invader and shot them to someone who robbed a convenience store and then shot the clerk.

These things aren't even making me angry anymore. Now it's comical to me.
