There are reports of movement in the Justice Department’s classified documents case, but not the one against former President Donald Trump. This update concerns the case looking into President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents.

In response to the federal indictment of Trump’s handling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate, the former president asked on social media in June where Biden’s charges were given classified documents were found in his possession too.

The Republican Party followed suit calling the indictment a double standard. But as of Friday, Aug. 11, NBC News reported that there is now an update on the Biden case.

Sources say special counsel Robert Hur has requested an interview with the sitting president. Attorneys for Biden say they have been negotiating with the special counsel for about a month over terms of the proposed interview, such as when and where the interview might take place as well as what sort of questions are coming the president’s way.

The investigation has been going on for eight months, and an interview is often seen as one of the last steps in the process.

The documents found in Biden’s care were largely from his time as vice president. They were discovered at an office Biden used after his time as vice president and in the garage at his home in Delaware.

In Trump’s classified documents case, the former president was indicted on 37 counts and has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
