A lawyer for President Joe Biden said the documents were found in Biden's former office months after the FBI raided Donald Trump's Florida home.
and seized more than 100 classified government documents and hundreds of more records that federal prosecutors say belong to the U.S. government.
By law, government records must be given to the National Archives when a president or officials in their administration leave office.first reported the discovery of the records at the Penn Biden Center. That task was intentionally assigned to Lausch, who was appointed to the prosecutor's office by Trump appointee, to avoid any conflict of interest, the source told NBC.
Even if Trump had declassified the records that had classified markings, he still could face criminal prosecution if the DOJ finds he likely broke the law by removing all of the records from the White House, and by obstructing efforts to recover them.
