Impeachment should not apply to conduct before taking office.  Now, if he doesn't cooperate with the investigations that are now starting, that would be behavior while in office, which would be impeachable.

The other difference, after the fact, is Trump lied about turning over everything when much more stuff remained at Mar a Lago.  So far, no one's reporting that Biden made any sworn statement like that.  So that's a big difference in criminal liability, but it's very technical and won't really change anyone's mind.

Neither of them should ever run for anything ever again.

False. The VP never had the right to remove those documents therefore his possession of them is in fact criminal. Also false that Trump did anything wrong, as President he had the right to do what he did in his end of term and post-Presidency periods. The only big difference is your refusal to accept the facts that this is another case of the Dems can do whatever illegal things they want but Trump cannot do what he has the right to do, and you will just continue to make excuses for it or try to justify it. But I'm sure they'll get him THIS time, lol.

Did Trump have a right to submit false sworn statements to the courts regarding his retention of those materials?

Trump said "I don't have those documents" not "I have a right to those documents" and not "it's none of your business if I have them or not."
