Special Edition: Revealing Gov’t Secrets? Classified Docs Decoded
Listen below:
Tune in weekdays for 10-min daily news roundups:
Two separate presidents – and two separate allegations of mishandling classified documents. Today, we’re taking a look at the investigations into President Biden and former President Trump.
First, I’m joined by well-known criminal defense attorney Randy Zelin. He’ll compare the Biden and Trump cases from a legal perspective – what’s the same, what’s different, how prosecutors might move forward, and what role politics may play in it all.
Richard Painter, former White House ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, then explains what’s typically in classified documents, and why he says the system our government uses to keep track of them is seriously flawed.
