  • The presser is likely to again be dominated by questions on classified documents found in private offices associated with President Biden.
  • Aides to Biden yesterday revealed they found a second batch of classified documents Biden's garage in Wilmington, Delaware.
  • The Department of Justice has named Robert Hur as special prosecutor to investigate the documents.
  • The discovery has gifted the GOP an opportunity to reframe the Department of Justice’s investigation into classified government material found in the possession of former President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.
  • There are clear differences in the two cases, namely that the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago was prompted by Trump’s refusal to return documents to the National Archives rather than merely the possession of documents, but the optics of the two cases may significantly undermine the public support the DOJ’s case against Trump.
