No, it didn't.

Yes, it did. Both Trump and Biden violated the law by absconding with
classified documents. Biden even shared them with the writer who
ghost-wrote his book, someone who had no clearance at all, let alone the
TS-SCI clearance necessary to receive that information.

They should both be held accountable, but the DOJ let Biden off the hook
by declaring him an unprosecutable vegetable. So as long as Biden is
going to skate, it's only fitting that Trump does so as well.

That's not what was said but that isn't important. What is important
is Biden returned the documents he had of his own accord. Trump, on
the other hand, went out of his way to keep the documents he had to
the point of lying whether he had any documents when asked multiple
times if he had any and given the chance to return them. If he had
returned the documents he had when asked none of this would have
happened. Instead he lied and tried to hide the documents he had taken
to the point that the FBI had to come and get the documents.

So there's a huge difference in the two cases.
