NO ACCOUNTABILITY: Biden Calls Classified Docs ‘Stray Papers,’ Blames Aides Who Packed Up White House Office

Nothing to see here — according to the president.

President Biden dismissed the classified documents found at his Delaware home and private office as simply “stray papers” that ended up on his property because of careless aides who packed up his White House office over a decade ago, the NY Post reports.

“The best of my knowledge, the kinds of things they picked up are things that are from 1974 and stray papers – there may be something else, I don’t know,” Biden told PBS News Hour host Judy Woodruff on Wednesday, attempting to contrast his mishandling of classified material to former President Donald Trump’s document scandal.

The 80-year-old president argued that unlike Trump, “no one has had to threaten to do anything” and that he didn’t have his vice presidential and senate documents “laid out” on the floor, with “top secret code word and all the rest” – a reference to the infamous FBI photograph of Trump’s classified White House papers splayed out on a carpeted floor inside his Mar-a-Lago estate.

During the brief interview clip, Biden went on to lay blame on the staffers tasked with packing up his office at the White House at the end of Barack Obama’s presidency for not “thoroughly” looking over “every single piece’ of paper in his office…. One of the things that happened is that, what was not done well, is as they packed up my office’s to move them, they didn’t do the kind of job that should have been done to go thoroughly through every single piece of literature that’s there,” the president said.
