Jonathan Turley argued that using lawyers to search for documents helps Biden control the flow of information related to the case.
"Using private counsel allows Biden to raise attorney-client privilege," Turley wrote."Trump also used counsel, but eventually the FBI raided his home to search and remove not just classified material but documents found in boxes with that material. While that attorney-client privilege can be overcome under a 'crime/fraud exception,' it adds a level of initial protection.

An attorney has argued that Biden's use of lawyers to search his residence for documents could be used to minimize certain evidence in a potential trial.In the event that a criminal charge is brought against Biden over the documents case, Turley argues that the lawyers would be"key witnesses" in the case and might work to"minimize" certain evidence against him.
"The key is that unlike FBI agents, these lawyers are not acting on behalf of the public interest but for the president's personal interests," Turley argued."If there are criminal charges, the key witnesses will be lawyers representing the president as an individual. They are more likely to minimize incriminating or embarrassing elements."
