Former US National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden considered on Thursday that US President Joe Biden seems to have gotten away with holding on to more classified documents than many whistleblowers.
A couple of days ago, the White House confirmed that in November, Biden's lawyers found classified documents while clearing space in his office at the Penn Center, a Washington-based think tank. The White House's special counsel said the aides immediately contacted the US National Archives, which in turn forwarded the information to the Justice Department.
CBS News, which reported first on the documents, cited two sources with knowledge of the inquiry as saying that roughly 10 classified documents were found.
"Worth noting that the President seems to have absconded with more classified documents than many whistleblowers. For comparison, Reality Winner [convicted of leaking the National Security Agency report] was sentenced to 5 YEARS for just one document," Snowden tweeted.
"Meanwhile Biden, Trump, Clinton, Petraeus... these guys have dozens, hundreds [of documents]. No jail," he pointed out.
