BIDEN: It’s unclear precisely how many classified papers have been recovered from Biden’s home and former office. Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president, said this month that “a small number of documents with classified markings” were discovered on Nov. 2, 2022, in a locked closet at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, a think tank in Washington, as Biden’s personal attorneys were clearing out the offices.Are Biden classified documents still being found scattered up and down the east coast? Wait, why did Biden ILLEGALLY have classified documents in his possession? Are criminal charges pending?
Sauber said Jan. 12 that a second batch of documents with classified markings — a “small number,” he said — had been found in a storage space in Biden’s garage near Wilmington, Delaware, along with one document located in Biden’s personal library in his home. Days later, Sauber clarified that six pages, not a single one, had been found in the library.
During a nearly 13-hour search on Jan. 20, FBI agents searching Biden’s Delaware home located six additional items that contained documents with classified markings and also took possession of some of his handwritten notes, said Bob Bauer, a lawyer for the president.
TRUMP: Roughly 300 documents with classification markings — including some at the top secret level — have been recovered from Trump since he left office in January 2021.
In January 2022, the National Archives retrieved 15 boxes of documents, telling Justice Department officials they contained “a lot” of classified material. In August, FBI agents took more than 33 boxes and containers totaling 11,000 documents from Mar-a-Lago, including roughly 100 with classification markings found in a storage room and an office.

How they compare: Trump, Biden, Pence classified documents
There are plenty of similarities — but also major differences — among the classified-records situations of Joe Biden, Donald Trump, and Mike Pence.

Perhaps we should start here. First, it should be noted Biden immediately cooperated with efforts to identify and return any documents with a classified marking. Trump refused to comply with a subpoena to return classified docs he knew to be in his possession and otherwise concealed them from authorities.
Do your keen powers of observation allow you to see a difference between the cases?
