“There are pressing charges, they indict President Trump, they searched his home in good faith, but nothing happens here, and this idea that that’s what Americans are really taking away is second nature. It’s a heavy standard.”
Several legal experts, including FOX News contributor Jonathan Turley, recently proposed The secret document handling case against President Biden reportedly contained more important evidence than the case involving President Trump.
Jordan told Fox News Digital he agrees with that analysis.
”That’s what I think when I watch the press and walk around the scene, especially when he’s talking to the ghostwriter. By the way, when the ghostwriter learned that Mr. Heo had been appointed as special director, he tried to destroy his evidence. He’s a lawyer,” Jordan said. Unless it’s a hindrance. I don’t know what it is. So I think this again highlights this double standard that we’ve seen for a long time. ”
