greenville, outside wilmington, delaware, home. are you asking asking for the visitor logs at mar-a-lago? the issue of whether or not sources and methods are compromised, whether or not these documents got into the wrong hands, whether or not biden or trump allowed documents to be kept in a haphazard way. that exists period. i m wondering why the request for visitor logs in greenville but not at mar-a-lago. well, we re doing the biden family influence peddling investigation. i can tell you what we learned just from biden s mishandling of classified documents is that the biden center was funded primarily through anonymous donations from china was it the biden center or university of pennsylvania? it was the university of pennsylvania that funneled it through the biden center. and then you have the biden center says they didn t get any money in chinese anonymous donations. i get that schools get money from chinese donations. there s a pattern here.
my concern is how there s such a discrepancy in how former president trump was treated, by raiding mar-a-lago, getting security camera, taking pictures of documents on the floor, going through melania s closet versus joe biden, your personal lawyers who don t have security clearance, they can go through, they can just keep looking and keep looking and determine whatever is there. that s not equal treatment, and we re very concerned and there s a lack of trust here at the department of justice by house republicans. that s the outrage. so i get that. but there s a big difference in how president biden and his team reacted and how president trump and his team reacted. the fbi searched mar-a-lago because trump for more than a year refused to turn over documents to the national archives and the justice department which was trying to get them back into secure hands. trump and his lawyers lied about it. trump lied about not having classified documents, did not keep them in a secure location
biden. what do you think? it seems to me like well, let s compare the two. these are the points that some of your friends in the white house want to make. biden had approximately 20 documents, trump at least 325. biden, some top secret, trump 60 top secret. biden apparently cooperating, trump under investigation. trump the archives reached out for documents and it became a whole messy thing. obviously there are differences. in both you have people taking documents out of the white house that they shouldn t have taken. sure. and no one is going to defend taking documents that are classified, but the point is that the president is fully cooperating, and he did everything that the procedures required from what we can tell. as soon as they were found, he reported it to law enforcement. if president trump had done the same thing, this would be a non-issue. fully cooperated at the time
well, what the american people are going to see from our investigation is a pattern of anonymous donations going to hunter s business deals to the biden center, to the artwork hunter sold at the art gallery in new york. there s a pattern here of anonymous sources of money flowing into the biden s pockets and biden s interest and it s very concerning. this is a national security risk. that s my biggest concern. that s why we re trusting forward with this investigation. i guess the average american who doesn t really care whether the person you re investigating has a d or r next to their name might listen to this interview and think, i don t have any problem with anything he s investigating when it comes to biden, but how come he s not investigating all the same stuff when it comes to trump? there are questions about influence peddling when it comes to the trump family, questions about visitor logs when it comes to mar-a-lago. if you re going to be doing the oversight and accountabilit
president trump and current president biden are being treated with the document issue. i ll get to trump in a second. i want to be clear here, are you accusing president biden or anyone on his team of breaking the law? well, we don t know exactly yet whether they broke the law or not. i will accuse the biden administration of not being transparent. why didn t we hear about this on november 2nd when the first batch of classified documents were discovered? remember, they were quick to call for a special counsel prior to the midterm elections, and joe biden used as his closing argument during the midterm elections that republicans were a threat to democracy, and he cited the fact that president trump mishandled the documents. while he was doing this, he knew very well that he, himself, had possession of classified documents. so the hypocrisy here is great. we re very concerned about a lack of transparency. we re very concerned, as i ve said many times about a two-tier system of justic
