Trump's legal team hired an outside group to search 4 of his properties for materials that should be in custody of the federal government. Reports today state that at least 2 classified documents were found in a storage unit.
Despite the fact that Trump's lawyers signed a declaration back in June stating that all government materials had been voluntarily turned over to the government, the feds found loads of materials during the August execution of a search warrant. So no one actually believes that Trump had materials just in Florida. Supposedly Bedminster and Trump Tower have been searched with nothing found there.
I would bet a whole lot of money that he has more stuff stashed at his other properties. It is just a matter of time before the government finds it.

Every president before him kept classified documents and declassified them before departure for archiving in future presidential libraries etc. This story was hyped and overblown and of course turned up nothing illegal.
Now we will watch Biden's story unfold, because unlike the president, the VP has no authority to remove documents that are classified because he has no authority to declassify them.

The government is like sending a blood hound, to find these documents. Once they're on the hot trail, it's only a matter of time:) When they tie the noose around his neck, I want to be the one to pull the cord!

Of course this turned out, not surprisingly, to be a big fat nothing—interesting that now Biden's got some he is not supposed to have. And there's a twist here. While the president has authority to declassify documents, the VP does not, and that's when Biden took the documents.
This will be interesting to see how the media spins this, as well as the administration.
