addressed questions from reporters and says he, too, wants answers. people know i take classified documents, classified information seriously. i was briefed about this discovery and surprised to learn if there were any government records that were taken there to that office. i don t know what s in the documents. my lawyers have not suggested i ask what documents they were. i ve turned over the boxes, they ve turned over the boxes to the archives and we re cooperating fully, cooperating fully with the review. with me many studio to share reporting and insights, nia-malika henderson, cnn s evan perez and national security analyst kevin cordero. let me start with the idea that merrick garland asked the trump holdover, the u.s. attorney general in chicago. do we know what the findings
it happened. certainly, there was a mistake made. you re exactly right. during the white house days i was there, this was something take with the utmost seriousness. we re seeing a difference in what the biden white house is doing and what trump has done. for what we know, there were fewer than a dozen documents found at the penn center without a lot of public access to it, unlike a hotel where you have hundreds if not thousands of people coming through. i commend the administration for very quickly ensuring that a trump holdover, the lawyer from the northern district of illinois reviewing the matter, they will be transparent. it will be unlike the way the trump team is handling it. so there are two aspects to something like this. one of them is the public perception and we have already heard some republicans coming out and making all kinds of accusations. but from a legal standpoint,
like retrying their cases? what s the reality they re looking senate. yeah, mika. marjorie taylor greene has made this her rallying cry for the past couple years to the january 6th defendants who have been in her opinion wrongly imprisoned. but this is all part of what is more it s chilling. becoming a concerted effort to run a smear campaign for the doj and grease the wheels for when if there is an indictment that eventually comes out of the department of justice against the former president that they can continue to point to these different areas of baseless sort of political corruption. but i just have to point out the department of justice has been investigating hunter biden since 2018. and he is a trump holdover and
