The Department of Justice is “actively working” to brief Congress on the possible risks to national security posed by the discovery of classified documents at the private homes of former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, according to a letter the department sent lawmakers over the weekend.
It has not been made public why the DOJ did not brief lawmakers on its initial findings in September. However, sources tell the Washington Examiner that scheduling conflicts contributed to the lack of a briefing. FBI agents recovered about 33 boxes of roughly 11,000 documents during its August raid of Mar-a-Lago. Roughly 100 of those documents contained classified markings, with some being considered at the top secret level. Before that, the National Archives recovered 15 boxes from Trump in January 2022 containing"a lot" of classified materials. In total, officials have obtained roughly 300 documents with classified markings from the former president.
One month later, officials found additional classified materials at Biden’s personal residence in Wilmington, Delaware, on Dec. 20. Officials later found a handful of more classified documents after two additional searches at Biden’s Delaware residence in January.

Trump rants show he 'knows what's coming' from DOJ: Kirschner'I am not a political analyst or expert, but I don't think Donald Trump has a snowball's chance in hell of being elected president again,' Glenn Kirschner said. Yeah, that's what everybody said in 2016, and look how that turned out. Trump needs to be in jail. Not the White House. 🙄 If you only count legal verifiable votes, he already won twice. He will a third term if RINOs and CIA (scum democrats) don’t rig the election. And yet he's the frontrunner for the nomination for Republicans. Some people never learn.
