Editor’s Corner

Abstract

Remember when we were all shaking our heads in August about the classified government documents found at Mar-a-Lago, then it so happened that former Vice President Mike Pence and President Joe Biden also had classified materials? It seems folks who work at the White House may have a penchant for taking them home.

All three are being investigated, though former President Donald Trump may be in the hottest of water. Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed special counsel Jack Smith, who is investigating Trump’s complicity in the January 6 attack and the wider attempt to overturn the 2020 election. Smith is also probing the former president’s actions over the classified materials found at his Florida home after he refused to hand them over for months.
