One is intent and the other is a question of concealment or obstruction of an investigation thats ongoing. obviously, there was no ongoing investigation prior to early november here as there was in president trumps case. but the age of the documents is something that bears on intent. in other words, why did biden have documents that dated back to his time in the senate, and what has happened to those doctors that had access them? where have they been for the 14 years since president biden last w...

From the trump situation. >> exactly. >> where there was evidence, according to the fbi and sources, of obstruction. its interesting, though, politically. when you look at biden and how he has handled this, with trump he said that it was very irresponsible, or something to that extent. and now all of this is happening, this drip, drip, drip. and he was asked a couple of days ago whether he regrets not having disclosed this sooner. lets listen to what he said and talk to the other end of it. >> y...
