CNN reported that the chaotic transition period between the Obama and Trump presidencies led then-Vice President Biden's aides to misplace classified documents.
"The View" co-host Joy Behar complained on Thursday that President Biden's classified documents were discovered "just as we were this close" to getting former president Donald Trump.
With Biden’s office being occupied until the last minute, the piece stated,"Aides scrambled to pack up his workspaces in the West Wing, the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and at his official residence, the Naval Observatory." It declared,"Those competing objectives – to use his office until the final minutes even as it was obliged to shut down – made for a muddled and hurried process that left aides packing boxes of documents and papers late into the night, even as more material kept arriving."
But it noted,"At a minimum, however, the placement of the secret documents alongside ‘personal and political papers’ reveals a records retention process gone awry." Former aides and people familiar with the transition process have insisted that the transition team made a"serious effort to follow the law made difficult by an unusually active final stretch."
