It’s not hard to imagine what Trump would be saying about Biden if he had claimed he “didn’t know anything about” such an egregious error during his presidency.
Trump says he didn't know anything about admin officials discussing details of a sensitive operation on a Signal chain that inadvertently included editor of Atlantic. He said leak "couldn't have been very effective, because the attack was effective." He also said Atlantic is "going out of business."
