The White House in the United States said on Monday (9th) that a office used by President Biden before taking office was found a "small" confidential document during his time as Vice President.These documents have been transferred to the State Archives and Recording Administration (hereinafter referred to as the Archives), and the Ministry of Justice ordered the investigation.The Republican crowd attacked Biden and official handling methods, saying that the Ministry of Justice should be treated equally, searching for Biden's residence like a former President Trump.However, some legal experts have said that the situation is similar to Trump this situation, but it is very different in essence.
The office found that the office was found to be the Archives Bureau
The office involved belongs to the Think Tank's "Pennsylvana University of Fangdeng and Global Participation Center" (Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement ".Bayon's legal adviser Richard Sauber issued a statement on Monday, saying that when Bayidon's private lawyer was cleared on November 2 last year, he found these documents in a lock storage room.The file bureau took the file in the morning.
The number of files without the number of files emphasizes active surrender
Sabel's statement did not mention the confidential level of confidential files, content or files, but the Washington Post stated that there were about 10 documents, while Colombia Broadcasting Corporation said that the documents did not involve nuclear secrets.Sabel emphasized that these documents are not information requested or inquired in advance by the File Bureau. In other words, the Bayeng team actively handed over, and the White House is working with the Ministry of Justice and the Archives Bureau.Judicial Minister Merrick Garland has ordered John R. Lausch Jr. John R. Lausch Jr., which was appointed by former President Trump.
This incident is compared with the "file door" of Trump.After Trump stepped down in January 2021, he moved a number of highly sensitive confidential documents to Haihu Manor in his residence in Florida.In the Federal Investigation Bureau (FBI), an agent (FBI) entered the search with a search order last August. In the thousands of documents, more than 100 documents were found to be confidential.intelligence.Biden had criticized Trump's "irresponsible" approach to put such documents in his private residence.
Democrats dilute the incident, saying that it has been appropriate
The Associated Press reported that Biden was revealed that it might be improperly handled confidential or presidential files, which may become a political issue that caused him headache.After the news was disclosed, he asked his social platform: "When will the FBI searches for many houses in Biden, even the White House?" Komo, Chairman of the Republican House Supervision and Reform Commission, also questioned the dual standards of the Department of Justice and saidThe investigation will be launched on this incident.Democrats inside the committee faded the incident, saying that the lawyers of Bedden seem to have adopted instant and appropriate action processing documents.
The Washington Post quotes legal experts that this situation is not uncommon, but it is generally handled by administrative means rather than criminal investigations, because to prosecute someone to handle confidential documents and prove that the person is deliberately violated.
