Recent revelations have highlighted a significant controversy surrounding the handling of classified documents by Joe Biden, with numerous Republican representatives accusing the Department of Justice of a double standard in its treatment of Biden compared to former President Donald Trump. According to the tweets, Biden retained 50 classified documents from his tenure as Vice President and U.S. Senator in various unsecured locations, including his Delaware residence garage, the Penn Biden Center, and the University of Delaware. These documents covered sensitive topics such as the military surge in Afghanistan, the Iran nuclear deal, and Biden's communications with the Ukrainian Prime Minister. In addition to the 50 documents, the FBI seized 17 notebooks and a stack of notecards from Biden's residence that included handwritten notes containing classified information. Furthermore, at least 19 documents with classified markings were kept at the Penn Biden Center, and over 12 documents marked classified were found at the University of Delaware. Despite the discovery of these documents, Biden has not been prosecuted, with some attributing this decision to his 'faulty memory' or 'poor memory.' This situation has sparked accusations of a two-tiered system of justice, especially in light of the fact that Trump faces charges for his handling of classified documents. The issue has prompted a strong reaction from Republican representatives, who argue that this exemplifies a lack of equal application of the law.
Joe Biden mishandled classified documents for years. But President Trump is the one getting prosecuted. Americans are tired of the two-tiered justice system.
Since 2016, 3 presidential candidates have allegedly mishandled classified documents — Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Only one of them has been charged. This is why Americans think we have a two-tiered system of justice. There is not equal application of the law. https://t.co/AI6XoDXrFS

Joe Biden kept at least 19 documents with classified markings at the Penn Biden Center. Some of these classified documents related to the Iran nuclear deal and VP Biden’s call on December 11, 2015, with the Ukrainian Prime Minster. Wasn’t prosecuted. Double standard.
Joe Biden willfully kept classified documents in his Delaware home, the Penn Biden Center, and the University of Delaware. But the DOJ won’t press charges because he has a poor memory. Americans are SICK and TIRED of our two-tiered system of justice. https://t.co/lICHZ5QWSr
Joe Biden played a scavenger hunt with classified documents, and yet does not get charged. President Trump, on the other hand, gets 40 charges for handling classified documents. Yet another double standard from Biden’s justice department. https://t.co/rzyRdDhVta
Joe Biden “willfully retained” classified documents from his time as Vice President and a U.S. Senator. Yet his unlawful conduct was simply excused by his “poor memory.” Quite the contrast with the treatment of President Trump. Glaring example of the DOJ’s two-tiered system of…

Joe Biden kept 50 classified documents in his Delaware residence garage. Some of which relate to the military surge in Afghanistan—were found in an unsecured damaged, open box. Wasn’t prosecuted. Double standard.
Joe Biden's faulty memory isn't an excuse for taking classified materials. That Biden wasn't charged makes clear we have a two tiered system of justice. #Hur #Biden https://t.co/3B0UegZ7bz
