Edward Snowden says former President Donald Trump, successor Joe Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have all “mishandled” classified documents.
What Happened: The former intelligence contractor said on Twitter, “Trump and Biden and Hillary all mishandled classified documents.”
“You could argue "who did it worse," or you can question if we really need a system that crushes ordinary workers who fall afoul of it while excusing the same "crimes" if done by elites.”
Snowden shared a CBS News report which stated that Attorney General Merrick Garland had assigned the U.S. attorney in Chicago to review documents marked classified that were found at a private office of the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington in November.
Why It Matters: On Tuesday, Biden said that he was surprised to hear that classified papers were found in the private office that he used at the think tank. The president said he didn’t know “what’s in the documents.”
Trump, whose residence was raided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and classified documents recovered, alleged that China was “given information” after the Biden documents story became public.
Clinton was in the eye of the storm over her emails and the use of a private email server.
