Trump Finds Hidden Letter from Biden in Resolute Desk After Exchange with Peter Doocy
President Donald Trump shared a light-hearted exchange with Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy, who pointed out a longstanding presidential tradition of former Presidents leaving a letter.
Doocey posed the question as a Trump worked through a large stack of executive orders.
“President Trump, did President Biden leave you a letter?” Doocy asked.
Trump replied, “He may have.”
The President then pushed back from the Resolute Desk, asking, “Don’t they leave it in the desk?”
Trump opened the desk drawer quipping “Ooh!” as he found an envelope.
Reporters quickly pressed Trump for details of the letter, and he teased them that he could read it on the spot.

“Thank you, Peter. It could have been years before I found it,” Trump said.
“Maybe I’ll read it first, then I’ll make that determination,” Trump added.
Watch
Trump then recalled the note he had left for Biden in 2021 when he departed the White House.
“I left him one in the desk just like this,” he said, reflecting on the tradition.
The moment was a light-hearted glimpse into an otherwise agenda-packed day following Trump’s inauguration.
The exchange was also a promising sign of Trump’s future relationship with the media.
