President Biden has not been interviewed in the federal investigation into his handling of classified documents, sources say, suggesting that the investigation is not yet nearing a close.
Garland announced Special Counsel Jack Smith would oversee that investigation days after Trump declared he would again seek the presidency in 2024.
Biden’s case is far different, his aides have argued, in that the current president promptly returned classified documents to the government when they were discovered in his office, and then voluntarily allowed federal authorities to search his properties for additional materials. The F.B.I had to seek a warrant to retrieve documents from Trump after he rebuffed efforts to repossess them.
Nonetheless Biden aides were frustrated that Garland appointed a special counsel in Biden’s case in an attempt to demonstrate equal treatment for the current president and the former president, but did not name a special counsel for the Pence investigation, according to two people familiar with the matter.
On Monday, after his lawyers met with Justice Department officials, Trump wrote in all caps on his social media platform Truth Social:"How can DOJ possibly charge me, who did nothing wrong, when no other president's were charged, when Joe Biden won't be charged for anything."
