EXCLUSIVE: House Speaker Kevin McCarthy blasted the Department of Justice for its handling of the investigation into former President Donald Trump's handling of classified documents.

The White House said President Biden had no advance knowledge of the indictment of former President Trump and found out about it from news reports.

Although the former president was indicted on seven charges in a probe by special counsel Jack Smith, many Republicans on Capitol Hill turned their focus to President Joe Biden.

President Biden said Friday that he hasn’t been in communication with Attorney General Merrick Garland since the Justice Department indicted former President Trump.

Trump's attorney Jim Trusty told "Good Morning America" host George Stephanopoulos, "Nice try," during an interview Friday morning with the ABC News host tried to dismiss the double standard of not charging President Biden for also mishandling classified information.
