President Joe Biden’s attorneys worked with the “Gestapo” at the Department of Justice to secure soft treatment for the sitting president amid a growing scandal involving classified documents, former President Donald Trump said Wednesday.
The Department of Justice reportedly declined to assign FBI agents to monitor the search of Biden’s home under a mutual agreement reached with Biden’s personal attorneys. Department officials reportedly believed that FBI supervision would overly complicate the federal investigation into classified documents related to Biden, and that the supervision was unnecessary with Biden’s cooperation.
“Biden is being treated so much [sic] better than me, I’m shocked (not really!). Why aren’t they raiding his house, & how come his representatives and lawyers are allowed to work together with the Gestapo [sic] in looking for documents, when my lawyers & representatives were not allowed anywhere near the search,” Trump posted on Truth Social on Wednesday morning. “We weren’t even allowed to know what they took when they raided my home. ‘Please leave the premises,’ they said, & then lugged out everything they could, including my Passports & Med Recs.”
One of Biden’s personal attorneys found an envelope with 10 classified documents dating back to Biden’s tenure as vice president in a private office the president used at the Penn Biden Center, a D.C. think tank. After the discovery, Biden’s legal team launched a search of Biden’s properties in Delaware — consisting of houses in Rehoboth Beach and Wilmington. The search, approved by the Justice Department, turned up additional classified documents on three separate occasions.
Biden attorneys found a batch of sensitive government documents in Biden’s garage on December 20. Attorneys found an additional document in Biden’s study on January 11, and five more documents again in the study a day later. All materials were turned over to the government, Biden’s attorneys said.
The scandal has drawn bipartisan scrutiny on Capitol Hill. House Republicans have been especially critical of the incident over what they see as a double standard between the Justice Department’s handling of classified documents related to Biden versus those related to Trump.
