President Joe Biden on Friday mocked Donald Trump’s claim to have declassified all of the documents targeted in an FBI raid on his Florida estate earlier this month.
Biden — asked about his predecessor’s stance after a judge released a heavily redacted version of the feds’ affidavit seeking the search — scoffed to reporters, “I just want you to know I’ve declassified everything in the world.
“I’m president, I can do — c’mon,” Biden said as he was leaving the White House for the weekend.
Pressed further about the case, he quickly added, “I’m not going to comment because I don’t know the details.
“I don’t want to know,” Biden added.
The president had been asked to comment on Trump’s claim that expansive federal powers allowed him to declassify any government document he brought with him to his palatial home.
Biden’s sarcastic comment was the most substantive on the investigation that he’s made to date, as he and his staffers have insisted the Department of Justice raid is independent of the administration.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre echoed that sentiment Friday at a regularly scheduled press conference.
