tonight they re multiple sources telling cnn that there could be even more searches and even more locations after classified documents were found at the presidents one-time private office. more, of course, and in his home in wilmington. the white house counsel office calling this week in and saying that additional five pages of classified material has also been found in wilmington. so just how is the white house reacting to all of this. when you talk to republican strategist guys back. senior political commentator at that incident yet mitchell is also here. often correspondent for the atlanta journal-constitution. let me begin with you, actually, cause you have the recording that biden is growing, quote, frustrated is the word but how this is being handled internally. some would say about time, because it is not a good look. what is your take? i think with biden was trying to do is distance himself from this issue because if they re classified documents and one of them was
end. it is not great politically. i still stand by the fact they are very difference cases with former president trump and biden. but i can understand, even though his lawyers handled this legally correctly, with the communication lenses it seems like there has been a few stumbles. there are comparisons being drawn. i want to go back to the timeline. when did you know it? who knew it and what did you do about it? for 68 days they did not say anything about the discovery. i wonder if the idea of the explanations, the idea of the trying to differential doj, is that connecting with voters? or is it there a concern that there is not? i think what is connecting with voter is that president biden had classified documents after criticizing former president trump for having classified documents. it is not the same. the obstruction that was perceived from former president trump is not the same. the refusal so cooperate is not perceived as the same. but i don t know how closely the
spokesperson said that the house republicans have no responsibility. i want to know what your reaction to that is, doug, also, if we go back in time to how trump was speaking about hillary clinton, there is some comparisons to be drawn about the pr reactions. what do you say? there is something said in politics, if you re explaining, you re losing. right now the white house is having to explain this. thursday was supposed to be a good day for the white house and it did not do that. they were explaining and they were losing and they lost out and driving a core message for them what is the strong economy.
republicans have no credibility. president biden is doing the right thing and is cooperating fully with a thorough review. but house republicans are playing politics in a shamelessly hypocritical attempt to attack president biden. that is white house pokes men in sam s. i wonder what your reaction to that is? also, he was speaking that if we go back in times how trump was speaking about say hillary clinton. there is some comparisons to be drawn about the pr reactions. what do you say? there s alters when politics. and what you saw last week and still going on now is at the white house has to explain this. and more voters aren t really in on the details on this where the sets of papers were in all this. but there is a response to a really good day for the white house. and that s what i want to drive home. instead then go well for him. and the prospect didn t go well for kareem. because they lost out on
