Biden’s transgression appears to be considerably less severe than Trump's. But that might not matter.
in the Washington office and, according to the White House, a “small” number that were discovered in the Delaware residence. By contrast, Trump had hundreds of classified documents., these different characteristics are critical from a legal perspective.
Still, this is … not good for Biden. Even if after an investigation it turns out that Biden’s behavior was purely accidental and probably didn’t result in the leak of important information, it appears to be, at the very least, sloppy and reckless behavior by a powerful politician. And even in a best-case scenario it's a political own-goal because of the manner in which Biden's actions appear to resemble Trump's actions. Democrats have delighted in the possibility that Trump’s secret storage of documents at Mar-a-Lago could be the basis for criminal charges. And it served as another clear example of Trump’s corruption as he pursues another White House campaign.
The differences in Biden’s and Trump’s cases matter. But their headline-level similarity could make Trump's misconduct look less damning, or make Biden's look more severe than it is. Or both. Will Biden's political future be torpedoed by this new crisis? Based on what we've seen so far, the answer to that is probably not. But it seems likely to invigorate Republican investigations of Biden in the House, and give them more meaty material as they do everything in their power to stop his agenda and damage his reputation.
