Fox News Regular Karl Rove Compares Biden’s Indiscretions to Trump’s
Rove seems to miss the fact that Trump's documents were unclassified by the president regardless of how they were marked. Biden's documents were still classified.

George W. Bush’s longtime senior advisor Karl Rove offered an assist to President Joe Biden on Fox News after the press reported on the first trove of classified documents at a location associated with the president.

President Biden’s lawyers said Monday that he had a “small number” of documents with classified markings from his time as vice president. Attorneys found them stashed in a closet at his former office in the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C.
In a subsequent appearance on Fox News, Mr. Rove argued what made former President Donald Trump’s document scandal worse.

Speaking on Fox News late Tuesday, Mr Rove said the “differences” between the two cases are significant.
“For example, how many documents in Biden’s case, there appear to be about 10. In the case of President Trump, hundreds,” he said. He also noted that it’s not known how the documents at issue got to a locked closet at the Penn Biden Centre in Washington, but he pointed out that Mr Trump had ordered the documents retrieved during the 8 August search of his Mar-a-Lago property to be transferred from the White House to his Florida home.
Mr Rove also noted that Mr Biden’s lawyers “immediately” notified “appropriate authorities” of what they’d found, while Mr Trump engaged in an 18-month fight with the National Archives over what he’d had stashed at his property.
“We spent a year and a half watching the drama unfold in Mar-a-Lago, and it had to end in a police search to recover the documents,” he said.
Mr. Trump responded on Truth Social. He argued that the documents found by Biden’s lawyers were left unguarded “for many years” while his home receives Secret Security protection.
Since Mr. Rove’s on-air appearance, we know more about Mr. Biden’s indiscretions.
People familiar with the matter revealed Wednesday night that his aides found another batch of classified documents at a second, undisclosed location. Their discovery came sometime after Mr. Biden’s assistants started searching his properties following the initial find of sensitive records last November.
White House lawyers announced Thursday afternoon that another batch of Obama-era records was found in a garage at one of Mr. Biden’s Delaware homes.
Shortly afterward, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the appointment of a special counsel to investigate Mr. Biden’s handling of classified documents.
The revelations have emboldened Republicans. They increasingly accuse Mr. Biden of hypocrisy for criticizing his predecessor’s handling of secret documents.
Speaking to reporters in Mexico City on Tuesday, Mr. Biden maintained his staff had fully cooperated with the National Archives and the Justice Department.
