The White House spokesperson, Ian Sams, recently held a live question and answer session to address concerns surrounding a report that discredited some of the findings and observations made by President Biden. The report suggests that charges were not warranted in regards to the mishandling of documents.
During the session, Sams emphasized that the conclusion reached in the report was based on the truth. He explained that the investigation conducted was extensive and determined that the incident in question was not intentional but rather an accident. Sams pointed out that as soon as the documents were discovered, the President promptly instructed for their retrieval and fully cooperated with the investigation.
When queried about President Biden's handling of classified material, Sams directed attention to the report, stating that evidence indicated the items were likely packed up by staff during transitions and movements. He clarified that this was not an accusation made by the President himself but rather a finding outlined in the report. Sams highlighted the importance of the President relying on the support of his staff and acknowledged that, in retrospect, the President admitted he could have been more engaged in the process to ensure proper handling.
Concerns were raised about certain materials that the President mentioned were in his home, specifically in locked or lockable filing cabinets. Sams referred to the report again, urging readers to review its contents for a thorough understanding. He clarified that the report extensively covered the issue and explained that the documents taken were discovered jumbled up in boxes and misplaced inadvertently.
The spokesperson reiterated that the report's observations reflected the truth and stated that personal diaries were among the items kept in the President's possession. Sams maintained that the mishandled documents were found in unintended locations, emphasizing that they had been incorrectly packed and stored.
Overall, the session aimed to address questions and concerns raised regarding the report's credibility and the actions of President Biden in relation to the mishandled documents. Sams consistently pointed to the investigation's findings to support the conclusion that charges were not warranted.
