Biden scoffs at Trump claim he declassified Mar-a-Lago documents: ‘Come on’
by Brett Samuels - 08/26/22 3:18 PM ETPresident Biden on Friday dismissed the claim from former President Trump that he broadly declassified the boxes of White House documents he took to Florida after leaving office.
Biden was about Trump’s claim that he had declassified the documents that were being kept at his Mar-a-Lago estate hours after the Justice Department released an affidavit that offered some new information about the materials recovered there.
“’I’ve declassified everything in the world. I’m president,’” Biden said sarcastically, waving his hands in the air. “Come on.”
Biden, speaking with reporters outside the White House, otherwise declined to comment on the details of the investigation into Trump.
“Let the Justice Department take care of that,” he said.
Trump’s handling of classified materials has been under intense scrutiny since the FBI searched his home earlier this month. Officials have said the search was related to sensitive government materials being kept at Trump’s estate.
