President Biden's spokesperson, Ian Sams, held a live question and answer session to address recent concerns regarding the handling of classified information by the President. Sams began by clarifying that out of the extensive 250-page special counsel report, there were only three instances where the President discussed classified material with his ghostwriter. He emphasized that these instances were related to the President's personal diary entries, which he was sharing with the ghostwriter for the purpose of writing a memoir about his life after the death of his son, Beau.
Sams pointed out that the passages from the diaries that were discussed with the ghostwriter did not contain any classified information and were not included in the final published book. He further clarified that the claim of willfully sharing a classified document with the ghostwriter was false. Instead, the President was referring to a handwritten letter he had sent to former President Obama discussing the Afghanistan troop surge, which was his own personal writing.
