On Tuesday, President Joe Biden revealed that he was not aware of the contents of the classified documents found in his Washington, D.C. think tank office. Left-leaning articles highlight that this incident is distinct from the controversy surrounding former President Donald Trump’s possession of classified documents at his estate in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, while right-leaning articles highlight that there exists a bias in the press covering the two similar incidents favoring Democrats and Biden.
USA Today published a centrist article reporting that Biden said, while on a trip to Mexico to attend the North American Leaders’ Summit, that he was surprised to learn that there were classified documents stored at the Penn Biden Center in Washington D.C., a think tank part of the University of Pennsylvania and named after the president, from his time as vice president. Biden’s lawyers had found the classified documents while clearing out his office at the think tank and immediately submitted the documents to the National Archives.
A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlighted that the Justice Department launched an investigation into the classified documents held at the Penn Biden Center. Special counsel to the president, Richard Sauber, said that while this incident has similarities to the Mar-a-Lago investigation, it is different in that Biden’s lawyers immediately turned over the documents to the National Archives rather than waited for a grand jury subpoena to then turn over the documents.
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlighted that Republican lawmakers in Congress have blasted Biden for the classified documents found at the think tank in D.C. and pointed out a media bias in favor of Democrats—drawing parallels between this incident with Biden and the Mar-a-Lago investigations involving Trump. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) repudiated the press for the clear “double standard” between Democrats and Republicans.
