Trump allies have alleged a double standard from the Justice Department.

In fact, as later recounted by the Justice Department's inspector general, prosecutors in Clinton's case concluded the evidence they gathered showed "a lack of intent to communicate classified information on unclassified systems." Media reports say authorities have been unable to find that document. And Trump is not charged with illegally retaining it or nearly 200 other documents that were returned to the U.S. government before the Justice Department issued its subpoena to Trump.
He participated in that conspiracy "knowingly and willfully," including by allegedly pushing his own attorney to lie to federal authorities seeking all classified documents and by allegedly directing one of his aides to hide certain boxes of documents from that attorney, according to the indictment. "I took full responsibility," Pence told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt last week, just days after the Justice Department notified Pence that it would not be seeking charges in the matter. "[They] found that it was an innocent mistake."
