Prudence would suggest that when all the facts remain unknown, the best path forward would be to err on the side of caution. However, on matters pertaining to former President Donald Trump, Fox News anchor Bret Baier has routinely shown his preference to err on the side of the narrative.

Such was the case Friday when he joined “America Reports” to discuss the developing reports surrounding Monday’s FBI raid of Trumps residence at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, FL.

An inventory of the documents seized by the FBI detailed varied levels of sensitivity with some labeled “top secret” or “classified” and allegations were made that the former president had improperly handled those reported documents by taking them into his possession and storing them at his home.

Trump had pointed to the roughly 30 million pages of records that former President Barack Obama had sent to Chicago, IL when leaving the White House, but Baier was quick to defend the 44th president.

“There is a process,” he contended on Fox News Friday. “President Obama, according to NARA (National Archives and Records Administration) and that statement and everything we know, followed all of those, the processes to get those documents to Chicago. There was a lot of grumbling that they hadn’t been posted online as promised. But how they were handled was done by that process.”

“The President Obama documents were handled properly and the question is, whether there’s a paper trail and a process for these documents if that’s what the Trump lawyers and the former president are arguing,” he went on.
