Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., who has defended President Biden’s handling of classified documents, dismissed comparisons of Biden’s situation to former President Donald Trump’s legal controversies, calling them “apples and oranges.”
Goldman is a freshman lawmaker who previously served as House impeachment counsel against Trump. In an interview with Punchbowl News published Tuesday, he rebuffed GOP accusations that Democrats are holding a “double standard” for Biden after they assailed Trump, who may be indicted for failing to turn over hundreds of classified documents to the National Archives.
“The American people are smart enough to understand the difference here,” Goldman said.
“On the one hand, you have classified information where it shouldn’t be. And President Biden’s team is doing exactly what you would hope they would do. They weren’t even asked for these documents. They self-reported,” he continued.
