Trump: Nuclear weapons issue is a “hoax”

CNN
About this episode

Former President Trump says the Washington Post’s reporting that FBI agents found material on foreign nation’s nuclear capabilities at his Mar-a-Lago residence is a “hoax.” The Post reports that some documents were so sensitive that they were kept under lock and key. Retired Lt. Gen. James Clapper is the former Director of National Intelligence. He explains to AC360 the possible national security risk for the U.S. if an adversary did gain access to the documents.

Plus, former President Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama returned to the White House for the first joint visit to unveil their official portraits. David Axelrod is a former senior adviser to President Obama and was at the ceremony today. He joins AC360 to discuss the evolving relationship between Biden and Obama.
