After Seeing The Jump In Trump’s Poll Numbers, Biden Orders FBI To Raid His House Too
"Hey, FBI guys, I could use some of those higher poll numbers," wrote President Biden on a piece of paper before shoving it under the basement door in hopes that one of his handlers on the outside would deliver it to an FBI guy. "P.S., I could use another diaper change right about now."
"In its statement, NARA said that it obtained "exclusive legal and physical custody" of Obama's records when he left office in 2017. It said that about 30 million pages of unclassified records were transferred to a NARA facility in the Chicago area and that they continue to be maintained "exclusively by NARA."

That is not true. Obama had access to those documents in that warehouse in DC. NARA gave him about 6 months to transfer them directly to NARA. How could he do that if Obama did not have access to the documents they were converting into digital?
@no1maraudersaid "A lawyer for former President Donald Trump signed a statement in June telling the Justice Department that all classified materials had been returned — but the FBI found more during its search of Mar-a-Lago on Monday.

NARA found out Trump had classified documents because Trump was cooperating with NARA and gave NARA the documents. When NARA discovered those classified documents they notified the DOJ.
At no point did NARA complain that Trump was not cooperating. In fact, NARA notified the DOJ BECAUSE he was cooperating. It was the DOJ that said Trump was not cooperating. That is why the DOJ got the FBI involved.

My town library has "exclusive and physical custody" of a lot of books and other materials.
I and other members of the public have "access" to them.

Trump didn't "cooperate". Despite NARA's constant demands for over a year, he refused to turn over materials he had no legal right to keep. He turned over a small portion in February at which point NARA found to their surprise he was still holding sensitive documents and they then alerted DOJ where Trump repeated his pattern of turning over a small portion of what he had no business maintaining (while lying about it). Finally DOJ used legal, coercive measures.
