CNN Fact-Checks Trump’s Bedminster Speech: ‘No Evidence Whatsoever That President Biden Is Somehow Behind These Charges’

‘There’s a lot of dishonesty there’

EXCERPT:

DALE: “Yeah. So, the first part, there is no indication, no evidence whatsoever that President Biden is somehow behind these charges. They were brought by a special counsel and approved by a Florida grand jury of ordinary citizens. Then this claim about Biden and the 1,850 boxes. Look, Biden is under his own special counsel investigation because he did take some number of classified documents from his time prior to being elected president. But these 1,850 boxes, Jake, are not 1,850 classified boxes. What they are are boxes of records from his 36 years in the U.S. Senate. Senators, unlike presidents, own their own offices’ records. They can do whatever they want. They usually donate them to colleges. They can burn them, they can give them to passers by, whatever. So, he donated them. And, contrary to Trump’s claim that Biden won’t let anyone look at these 1,850 boxes, Biden consented to two FBI searches of those records, as our Paula Reid reported, and there was no initial indication, as of February at least, that there was anything classified in them. So, not only were they not entirely classified, there was nothing classified as far as the initial search showed.”
