Donald Trump's former national security adviser said that even Democrats have admitted the inquiry is 'very, very bad' for the president.
"It was always going to be a hard decision for the Justice Department whether to prosecute him," Bolton said.
"We all live under one rule of law, but the fact is if you were to indict a former president and failed to convict him in the current environment, it would be a disaster for the Justice Department," he said. "There's a long standing department policy not to prosecute sitting presidents. So can you imagine now going after Trump but not going after Biden? I just don't see it."
Biden is currently not under criminal investigation over his handling of the classified documents and has been cooperating with authorities.to investigate the appearance of the documents on January 12. Biden's lawyers first discovered Obama-era documents at Penn Biden Center on November 2, 2022, just days before the midterms, and immediately notified the National Archives.
