Senator Josh Hawley, R-Mo., sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding answers on the 'disparate treatment' of Presidents Biden's and Trump's classified documents.
sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding answers to his"disparate treatment" of President Biden’s classified document trove compared to his predecessor’s and pressuring him to appoint a special counsel.
"The double standard here is astounding. The underlying behavior at issue—a President’s retention of old classified documents dating back to a past presidency—is materially the same in both cases," the senator continued."But in President Trump’s case, that retention triggered an unprecedented raid on the home of a former president, rationalized with a thicket of partisan doublespeak.
"We know from an Inspector General report that the FBI fabricated evidence to justify spying on President Trump’s campaign in 2016. Now the FBI is once again up to the same tricks, putting its thumb on the scales to punish the Democratic Party’s political opponents," Hawley said."We shouldn’t forget, after all, that you also unleashed the FBI on parents who challenged critical race theory at school board meetings in the fall of 2021.
