President Joe Biden and his attorneys were given special treatment by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in his classified documents scandal, as compared to the intrusive raid that FBI agents carried out on former President Donald Trump last August.
In November, just days prior to the midterm elections, Biden’s lawyers reportedly found classified documents from the vice president’s time in office at his home in Wilmington, Delaware, as well as at the Penn Biden Center in Washington D.C.

On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that the FBI decided to allow Biden’s lawyers to sort through the classified and unclassified documents unsupervised by agents.
“The Justice Department considered having FBI agents monitor a search by President Biden’s lawyers for classified documents at his homes but decided against it, both to avoid complicating later stages of the investigation and because Mr. Biden’s attorneys had quickly turned over a first batch and were cooperating, according to people familiar with the matter,” the Wall Street Journal reported.
The Department of Justice showed unusual restraint in comparison to the August raid on Mar-a-Lago against former President Donald Trump. The FBI agents swept up all materials believed to be relevant to its investigation of a National Archives and Records Act complaint. However, the search for Biden’s outstanding classified documents was handled out with utmost politeness, even though he did not possess ultimate declassification authority when he took the documents.
“After Mr. Biden’s lawyers discovered documents marked as classified dating from his term as vice president at an office he used at a Washington-based think tank on Nov. 2, the Justice Department opened an inquiry into why and how they got there,” the report added. “Mr. Biden’s legal team prepared to search his other properties for any similar documents, and discussed with the Justice Department the prospect of having FBI agents present while Mr. Biden’s lawyers conducted the additional searches.”
