Rep. Jaime Raskin (D-Md.) said that President Biden’s handling of classified materials is an “ocean away” from former President Trump’s, which he called “deliberate.”  During his appearance on CNN on Thursday, shortly after the release of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s 388-page report, the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee was asked to share his thoughts...
