Biden had classified documents on foreign affairs in private office just before the last midterms

Classified documents on various subjects of Biden's time as VP, including highly-classified "Sensitive Compartmentalized Information" on foreign relations, were discovered in a Biden private office on 2 November 2022 just before the midterm elections, but was kept under wraps until this month. Biden also told MSNBC in a 2018 interview that "I don't have access to classified information anymore"

Instead, Plaintiff has shifted tactics, unveiling a startling theory that all of the seized records including government documents bearing classification markings are his "personal" property under the Presidential Records Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. § 2201 et seq. That theory is meritless, and the Court need not consider it because it was not raised below and is entirely irrelevant: Even if the seized records were Plaintiff's "personal" property, they would still be lawfully obtained evidence, nothing in the law would prohibit the government from using or reviewing them, and there would still be no basis for an extraordinary injunction and special-master proceeding. There is no reason for the injunction and the special-master review to continue. Plaintiff has copies of every seized record except those bearing classification markings, to which he is clearly not entitled. And Plaintiff's single dispute with the government regarding attorney-client privilege can be resolved through the process originally directed by the magistrate judge. This Court should therefore reverse the district court's injunction and direct the district court to dismiss the case.

Some of the classified documents recovered by the FBI from Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home and private club included highly sensitive intelligence regarding Iran and China, according to people familiar with the matter. If shared with others, the people said, such information could expose intelligence-gathering methods that the United States wants to keep hidden from the world. At least one of the documents seized by the FBI describes Iran's missile program, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an ongoing investigation. Other documents described highly sensitive intelligence work aimed at China, they said. Unauthorized disclosures of specific information in the documents would pose multiple risks, experts say. People aiding U.S. intelligence efforts could be endangered, and collection methods could be compromised. In addition, other countries or U.S. adversaries could retaliate against the United States for actions it has taken in secret.
