Watch the event in the player above. Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday slammed the report by a Justice Department special counsel into Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents that raised questions about the president’s memory, calling it "politically motivated" and "gratuitous," as the White House said the president would take steps to safeguard classified materials during presidential transitions.

(AP Photo/Susan Walsh) [...] Biden in February launched a separate task force aimed at addressing the "systemic" problem of mishandling classified information during presidential transitions, days after a Justice Department special counsel’s sharply critical report said he and his aides had done just that when he left the vice presidency in 2016. This story was first published on April 26, 2024. It was updated on April 29, 2024, to make clear that access to sensitive information is addressed in a separate memorandum of understanding with the same Sept. 1 deadline.

Evidence (2024-02-12): Press Briefing by Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and Ian Sams 2/09/24 Transcript [...] It’s a reasonable question. I think that it’s important to know that we’re dealing with classified materials in this conversation. There are classification issues there. I don’t have any announcement on releasing anything today, but it is a reasonable question and there are classified stuff and we’ll have to work through all that. [...] That’s a great question. I think that something that this issue a year ago brought to light is that this is a, unfortunately, very common occurrence in our country. The National Archives has talked about how 80 different libraries and collections just in the last decade or so have called and said, "Oh, we found classified documents in these papers." And they have a process that you’re supposed to turn those back in.

Evidence (2024-02-09): Shortly before the special counsel’s report was publicly released, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was playing down Biden’s gaffes at the daily news briefing. Jean-Pierre said the slip-ups are "common" for most public figures, including those younger than Biden. "It happens to all of us," said Jean-Pierre, who noted she herself has misspoken, as has House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La. Jean-Pierre tried to say that the public’s attention should be focused more on the substance of what Biden was saying about how world leaders are worried about Trump’s possible return to the White House.

Evidence (2022-08-14): After last Monday’s search, FBI agents carted away 20 boxes of material that they said included 11 classified document files, including some labeled with the highest U.S. security classification – "Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information" that must only be viewed in highly secure government-controlled locations. [...] But he said, "nobody’s claiming it’s right to see classified information outside the secure rooms." [...] White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told ABC’s "This Week" show that President Joe Biden, who defeated Trump in the 2020 election, was not informed ahead of the search.

Just to follow up on Franco’s question: Given the position you’re holding right now, there are no assurances you can provide at this point that there are no other classified documents out there in any other office and/or home? [...] MS. JEAN-PIERRE: The President spoke to this personally. He spoke to this personally. He — again, he believes that classified documents and information should be taken seriously. He takes them seriously. And he was surprised to learn about —

Evidence (2023-09-07): Before her current job, Jean-Pierre had been principal deputy to Jen Psaki—Biden’s first White House press secretary. The two were so close that Psaki got them matching leather briefing books, which Jean-Pierre christened "Ebony" and "Ivory." Several times, Jean-Pierre filled in for Psaki at the podium or on overseas trips. "I gaggled more than Jen did," Jean-Pierre says, referring to the informal, off-camera briefings the White House often holds on the road. [...] Jean-Pierre did get a lot of criticism, especially in the beginning. There were reportedly complaints from the press corps, who sniped about Jean-Pierre’s recitation of talking points and expressed genuine exasperation about her perceived stonewalling on basic questions. Things became particularly testy in early 2023 when Jean-Pierre was pressed on a cache of classified documents found at Biden’s Delaware home. She seemed to share incomplete information from the podium—so much so that NPR reporter Tamara Keith, who was then president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, questioned Jean-Pierre’s ability to do her job. "Are you upset that you came out to this podium…with incomplete and inaccurate information?" Keith asked. "And are you concerned that it affects your credibility up here?"

Evidence (2023-02-02): Almost from the day news broke that classified documents had turned up in the home and former office of President Biden, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has responded to questions about the matter by essentially not responding. [...] As White House officials and Axelrod have noted, there are valid reasons Jean-Pierre can’t say much about the documents. Biden’s handling of documents, like Trump’s, is being investigated by a special counsel overseen by the Justice Department, who could pursue any false statement from the White House as evidence of tampering. Biden has also been careful to avoid any hint that he is attempting to influence the Justice Department, though he has dismissed the issue by saying "there’s no there there." [...] Jean-Pierre may have learned that lesson the hard way. A few days after news first broke that classified documents had been found at Biden’s personal offices, she told reporters that a thorough search had turned up no more. As it happened, a new batch of documents had already been found.

Evidence (2024-02-08): He also drew a comparison with former President Donald Trump’s handling of classified material, saying his documents weren’t "out in like – in Mar Lago, in a public place where – and none of it was high classified, it didn’t have any of that red stuff on it. You know what I mean? The red stuff around the corners? None of that." [...] He declared the matter of his classified document handling "closed," and said he was "pleased to see they reached the conclusion… no charges should be brought in this case." [...] White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre looks on during the daily press briefing in the Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House in Washington, DC, on February 8.

Evidence (2023-01-19): President Joe Biden on Wednesday again avoided questions about an investigation into documents marked classified found at his home and office, six days after a special counsel was named to investigate the matter. [...] Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and a spokesperson for the White House counsel's office, Ian Sams, have repeatedly referred reporters' questions to the Justice Department, which itself has not shared much information. [...] The president himself has addressed the topic just twice since a news report on Jan. 9 made public the fact that documents marked classified had been found at an office he used after he left the vice presidency.
Claim: Karine Jean-Pierre left a press conference after being asked about classified documents (Viral Video, 2023-01-13)
Evidence (2023-01-11): White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to answer a number questions about the documents, citing the Justice Department’s ongoing review of the matter. She could not say who brought the documents into the office or whether other documents were found. Nor could she say whether an audit was underway to locate other possible documents or when the president had been briefed on the discovery of the documents. [...] Jean-Pierre did say she’d spoken with Biden about the unfolding story as they were traveling in Mexico earlier this week. But she said she hadn’t spoken to the president about the documents themselves. Pressed on whether the way the situation has played out has undercut the president’s longstanding public commitment to transparency, Jean-Pierre responded, "When his lawyers realized that these documents were there, they turned them over to the Archives. They did the right thing."

Evidence (2024-10-09): Fox News journalist Peter Doocy asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday how Biden would handle a nuclear attack after 8 p.m. after the president said he was sharpest before that time. Jean-Pierre said a team informs the president about any news relevant to the American people. She said the president's National Security Council would break such news to the president. Doocy also asked if first lady Jill Biden was making decisions for the president. Jean-Pierre said the president makes his own decisions.

Claim: Claims that Jimmy Fallon said, "Lindsey Graham is the closest Trump has come to owning a dog." (Viral Quote, 2019-10-02)
Evidence (2022-02-02): Yet while all this was unfolding, Trump and Graham have continued to golf together, the true marker of Republican male companionship. They even hosted a golfing fundraiser together in May. Days after Trump declared that Graham should be "ashamed" of himself, the senator said he hopes Trump runs for president again. Graham has continued publicly singing Trump’s praises and promoting his pet causes, suggesting on Hannity recently that Mitch McConnell’s days as Republican leader are numbered if he won’t bend to the former president’s will. And Trump appears to still enjoy Graham’s company. (Though he hasn’t been very vocal about it; "I mean, Lindsey’s a nice guy" may be the most positive thing he’s said about the senator of late.) I know none of this really makes sense. Graham’s tempestuous friendships with various political "alpha dogs" (his term) have been well documented, but his relationship with Trump has always been especially weird. Remember when Oprah dismissed rumors that she’s gay by saying of her friendship with Gayle King, "There isn’t a definition in our culture for this kind of bond between women"? Trump and Graham are kind of the Bizarro World version of that; there isn’t a definition in our culture for this kind of bond between a politician and his lackey. But it endures.

Evidence (2021-09-23): That time came on Thursday for South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who has sacrificed much over the past four years to ingratiate himself with Trump, in the wake of the release of "Peril," a book on Trump’s final year in office. [...] Trump’s heel-turn on Graham should surprise no one – least of all Graham himself. After all, the South Carolina senator had a prime view over the last few years of how nothing and no one is ever good enough for Trump. Everyone, eventually, lets him down. He is the only one truly dedicated to fighting the, uh, good fight.

Evidence (2024-09-12): Pointing to Trump's headline-making claim that Ohio-based immigrants are "eating" residents' cats and dogs (Springfield police told NBC News "there have been no credible reports" of it happening days earlier), Fallon joked, "looks like Operation: I'm Not Weird isn't going well." [...] Fallon kept the jokes going, saying that Harris "tried to cast Trump as a 'relic of the past.' While Trump thinks relic is a condiment he puts on his hot dogs." "Extra ketchup and extra relic," Fallon added, doing an impression of Trump's hotdog order.

Evidence (2023-04-04): While most Republicans fell in line before the 2016 election, Lindsey Graham -- along with fellow senators Mike Lee, Ben Sasse, John McCain, and Rob Portman -- was a high-profile NeverTrumper on Election Day. "My party has gone batshit crazy," Graham said in a February 2016 speech about Trump. Graham told Fox News that Trump is "a kook. I think he's crazy. I think he's unfit to be president."

Evidence (2024-10-09): Additionally, Fallon and celebrity guests regularly appear in sketches parodying pop culture or political events. These segments normally take place after the monologue, but have occurred as a cold open for the show on a few occasions.[17] Just as he portrayed Mitt Romney during the 2012 election season, Fallon portrayed Republican candidate Donald Trump[18] and Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders.[19] Alongside Fallon's impressions, other celebrities occasionally appear. Several have recurring roles, including Dion Flynn as Barack Obama,[20] David Alan Grier as Ben Carson,[21] Aziz Ansari as Bobby Jindal,[22] the show's announcer Steve Higgins as Jeb Bush,[23] and the show's head writer A.
