>> obviously what he gets wrong is what doj took to a court who approved the surge was 15 months of obstruction of an effort to return the classified documents that were taken with trump so hes as much under investigation for obstruction of the effort to regain the documents as he is for having them in the first place, but what do you make of his appearance today and what it could possibly significant snowfall. >> well, i think tom fitton may indeed have been the trump whisperer, the silent part...

And then the other is the cooperation issue. one of the major things that distinguishes this from the trump investigation is all of the obstruction that happened on the trump side. its the fact that this is a voluntary search, and they are cooperating suggests theres no obstruction. you do wonder why they are going back in. theres a reason they didnt want to just go with the searches that have been conducted to date. to know whats going on, we need to know more about why they went in and what th...

Between the two cases as far as we know now that trump intended to take them. hes happy to trim them back. so that willfulness is the key element to whether there will be charges putting aside the obstruction on the document retention and handling side. >> so when this news comes as the president is set to meet face to face with kevin mccarthy today to talk about the debt ceiling and any sort of negotiations that can move forward on that issue, do you see this at any point becoming a distraction...

Who serve in public office, perhaps. clearly and we need to remember as well, that these documents, i think, or some of them relate to wind joe biden was a vice president. so dan quayle, al gore, had they been asked to check with doctor? this quayle, al gore, had they been asked to check with doctor?— to check with doctor? this is actually right _ to check with doctor? this is actually right because i to check with doctor? this is actually right because the i actually right because the preside...

Conducted a similar search also without a warrant of his wilmington home. after searching that residence for nearly 13 hours, investigators left with what bidens lawyers described as 6 items consisting of documents with classification markings and surrounding materials. after nearly 4 hours in rehoboth today, no documents marked classified were found but bidens lawyers said the justice department did take some materials and handwritten notes that appeared to relate to his time as vice president....

>> weve been fully cooperative. were in direct discussions with the justice department and that will continue. >> this is the send fbi search of a property belonging to the president in just two weeks and the third since agents visited his former think tank office where classified documents were discovered in november. after nearly four hours in rehoboth today, no documents marked classified were found. but bidens lawyer said that the justice department did take some materials and handwritten no...

One in wilmington they found additional documents with classified markings. but is afterjoe bidens own lawyers and look through it and said they had removed everything relevant. now they have searched his beachfront home. no classified documents there. lawyers stressing they are cooperating. i think the word cooperation or cooperating was used about ten times in a very short press conference. but we have to take a step back into remember a sitting president having the fbi in his homes. that is q...
