Biden admits to keeping Afghan documents classified for the posterity of leaked audio
former President Joe Biden, In a newly leaked audio of an interview with special advisor Robert Herr, he admitted that he likely holds classified documents related to Afghanistan after leaving the vice president for “for future generations.”
Biden first said he couldn’t remember why he had the documents when asked about it by Har, who told him he had been found in the library at his lake house.
“I don’t know what I knew,” he replied, Biden, “but that wasn’t something I would have stopped thinking about.”

“I think I wanted to stick with it for future generations. So this was my position on Afghanistan. I’ve seen it from a historical perspective that there are certain points in history, world history.
“So there are a lot of things I think are fundamentally changing how the international community works, and they are related to a lot of technology.”
After the 80-year-old continued on the subject for a while, Har paused him and returned to the topic of the document.
“No, sorry, that’s why I wanted it,” Biden replied. “There was nothing in Afghanistan.”
One of the former president’s lawyers then suspended Har to say “for the purposes of a clean record,” and wanted to avoid “entering a speculative area.”
At that point, Har replied, “I think we should take a break.”
