Moments after Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to federal charges that he hoarded classified documents and then conspired to obstruct an investigation about it, the Republicans in Congress had his back. Trump's mounting legal jeopardy has quickly become a political rallying cry as they rush to stand by the indicted former president. Many Republicans say they haven't fully read the 49-page indictment against Trump. But they are adopting his grievances against the federal justice system as their own. It’s an example of how Trump has transformed the Republican Party that was once the party of “law and order,” but is now attacking the very justice system at the foundation of U.S. democracy.

Trump took classified documents and when asked to return them, refused, hid, and obstruction.
Biden and Pence asked the government to come and get classified documents and told the government to please search and make sure there weren't any more.
This is why Trump is in the terrible position he is in. He thinks laws don't apply to him. And that the classified documents are HIS. They are not.
It's not just that BIden and Pence cooperated. It's that they didn't steal classified docs to begin with. We already know Trump had been sharing secrets with people to impress them.
trump was likely selling them to the highest bidder to, I expect that will come out in the trial
This, or, he was using them to wipe his greasy ass. you can never really be sure what goes on in his head....
