Even Karl Rove’s math won’t help Trump as the attempts to create a false equivalence are failing.

Former President Donald Trump lashed out at Fox News contributor Karl Rove after the longtime Republican strategist argued that Trump's hoarding of classified documents was worse than the classified documents found at President Joe Biden's office.

Biden's personal lawyers discovered about 10 classified documents from his time as vice president in his private office last fall. Critics were quick to compare the situation to the FBI raid at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, where authorities sought to collect classified materials after his lawyers falsely claimed he had returned all of the documents in response to a grand jury subpoena.

In a Fox News appearance on Tuesday morning with co-anchors Dana Perino and Bill Hemmer, Rove explained that Biden's case is different, as he was much more cooperative with authorities and kept significantly fewer documents than Trump did.

x I understand thinking whatever Trump says is misinformation. However, he himself posted on truth Social that the FBI told him to lock that closet in June. Nice try trying to twist it, epic failure. pic.twitter.com/E3HAtvnRu8 — Amanda Taylor (@geeklyamanda) January 12, 2023

Attorney General Merrick Garland assigned the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in Chicago to review 10 documents marked classified that were found at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Engagement in Washington, according to CBS News, but legal experts say the matter is vastly different from the criminal probe into documents found at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence.

Personal attorneys for Biden discovered about 10 documents from Biden's vice-presidential office while "packing files housed in a locked closet to prepare to vacate office space at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C.," a think tank affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania, Biden's special counsel Richard Sauber told CBS News.

The documents were in a box with unclassified papers, according to the report. The materials were discovered on November 2 and the White House counsel's office immediately notified the National Archives, which took possession of them the next day, according to Sauber.
