CNN’s MJ Lee: Biden Made Multiple False Claims Last Night About His Handling of Classified Docs

‘He said none of the documents were high classified, but if you look at the report, it specifically says that some of these documents were marked as top secret sensitive compartmented information’

EXCERPT:

LEE: “For one, the president said that everything that was discovered in his home were in filing cabinets that were either locked or able to be locked. Well, the report says, yes, there were some documents that were inside of cabinet drawers, but there were other documents, including ones related to Afghanistan, found in an unsealed and badly damaged box inside the garage. Some of these photos obviously show the bad shape that some of these things were in. He said that there were notebooks, too, that were in unlocked drawers in the office and den of the president’s Wilmington home. Something else that the president said. He said that none of the documents were high-classified. But if you look at the report, it specifically says that some of these documents were marked as top-secret, sensitive, compartmented information, which is a high level of classification, and that there were some notebooks that contained information that were also at this level. Just the last thing I would point out, too: The president said in his remarks yesterday that he didn’t share any classified information with his ghost writer. This is the ghost writer who helped him work on his memoir. Well, the report explicitly says the opposite. It says that the president shared information, some of which were classified, with this ghost writer, and read from some notebooks, including notes that came from meetings in the Situation Room. So, clearly, the president was trying to defend himself, but there were some comments that were contradictory to the details that were in this long report."
