The headline is delicious: Vice President Biden left the White House taking classified documents with him. However, what’s really lovely is the problem this creates for Obama: After all, he’s the only one who can rescue Biden but, by doing so, he will completely exonerate Trump of the charges that the latter violated national security laws by taking documents with him when he left the White House.

“I’ve never had any form of cancer,” she admitted to the Ankler in a bombshell interview. “I told a lie when I was 34 years old and it was the biggest mistake of my life.
