Donald Trump lobbed a dishonest attack on Tuesday against President Joe Biden over their respective handling of classified materials.
The White House confirmed the president had been voluntarily interviewed by special counsel Robert Hur's team over the weekend about classified materials found at his former Washington, DC, office and his Wilmington, Delaware, home, and the ex-president claimed the allegations against Biden were much worse than his own conduct, which resulted in 40 criminal charges.
"I see that Crooked Joe Biden is working on his documents situation," Trump posted on Truth Social. "He moved documents, many classified, all over the place, for years, including to CHINATOWN. He even took documents as a Senator, an absolute no, no! I come under the Presidential Records Act, he doesn’t - A big difference!!! I did nothing wrong, he did, and so did many others!"
Biden has said he was not aware the documents, which included intelligence memos and briefing materials, were in either location until notified by his personal attorneys, who also notified the White House counsel's office and the National Archives right away.

Trump, by contrast, knowingly took sensitive government documents with him to Mar-a-Lago after leaving office and refused to return them when asked by the National Archives, and the indictment alleges that he instructed employees to hinder efforts by the Department of Justice to recover them.
"The [Presidential Records Act] requires that all records created by Presidents (and Vice-Presidents) be turned over to [NARA] at the end of their administrations," the National Archives stated in response to Trump claims shortly after his indictment, and which he and his attorneys have continued to make.
