here at the national archives, when they keep declassifying things, more things seem to bubble up.he talk about this to you? no, no, he didn't. he did suffer from what we all now call post—traumatic stress disorder. but i didn't know — obviously he never said this to my sister and i, but my mother told me about it, about things that happened, especially when they were married, right at the start of their marriage after the war, where he'd suddenly leap out of bed at night and throw himself on the floor and start hiding. and she had to barricade the bedroom door because the staircase was outside, and he would have... and then he'd get back into bed and just go to sleep. my mother would lie there wide awake for the rest of the night. right, here we are, girls. and for fans of the carry ons, it's worth noting there was another prisoner in stalag luft 3 — talbot rothwell, who wrote the carry on scripts. the humour kind of had its kind of start in this place surrounded by watchtowers and guard dogs. but they worked out what made guys laugh. captain keen. and that was the funny thing. da

we know the work of dan blanton from the national archives. she and a wonderful book has documented at least 460 women who dressed as soldiers and went to fight i don't know if any of them were african american do. you know, i think there were a couple of them. i think a book came recently, i believe, that talked about that. but there are also black women who are serving on the union ships. we sometimes that there is a navy and black men had always served in the navy and they continue to serve you know throughout the history of the country. but it was in army that black men were not permitted to serve after a certain time. but black women serving on these naval vessels as nurses and i think we need to remember them. i don't know if they got pensions. they certainly were serving one black woman who received a pension, she was enslaved, norfolk, virginia and was spying essentially for the union, brought word to washington, d.c. her name was mary lou vest and she was giving word to the naval department that the confederates were building an ironc

i was i did a lot of research in the state department in, the national archives. there were just troves and troves telegrams. and i read through all of telegrams and i came to the end of. september 1970 folder and the next folder started in october. and all the hostages home by october. so i didn't think i'd find in there, but when i opened it, i found something that i remembered quite well, which was a sheaf of papers, literature. our captors had given out for the hostages read spelling out their plight. i'd always remembered the opening words which something like ladies and, gentlemen, i feel it is my duty. explain why. why we have done what we have done. and i saw those words and i scanned the entire document and it took me two years to go back read it it was just it was just too much because i remembered sitting on the plane it so what you're talking about stacie is is a moment and i will happy to read this passage when i was in what's called the motion research room of the national archives and had a wonderful, wonderful researcher there, helped me find these

the national archives asked for the documents. the fbi asked for the documents. and he didn't give them over. the fbi had to do a search of mar-a-lago to get them, and they still didn't get all of them. they may not got all of them, they believe. my phone is going nuts with all the stuff that's in this report. i want to read a little bit more. about a month after he left office as vice president in a recorded conversation with his ghost writer in february 2017, biden remarked that he, quote, just found all of this classified stuff downstairs, the report said. biden was believed to have been referencing classified documents about the afghanistan troop surge in 2009 which biden opposed. we have this from the house judiciary, the gop-led house judiciary, it's a post on x. just in, special counsel robert hur recommends no criminal charges against president biden and classified documents case, despite the fact that hur acknowledges biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen. and they write double

, when he was secondarily asked to return the documents back to the national archives, even though theid, oh, my god, ican�*t believe you have so many classified, highly classified documents, some of which he had no control to even declassify, had he even mentally wanted, as he said he did. everything would have been signed. no charges would have been bought. it was the obstruction, the lying, the alleged, using a legal term, lying, the alleged, using a legalterm, hiding lying, the alleged, using a legal term, hiding the documents that led to the prosecution that exists now. they are very much apples and oranges. that is why former vice president mike pence will also not be charged for his handling, mishandling of classified information. more broadl , classified information. more broadly, what _ classified information. more broadly, what do _ classified information. more broadly, what do you - classified information. more broadly, what do you think i classified information. more i broadly, what do you think this means for the country, essentially? trump supporters have already been say

when it is in physical form i come back and think about sandy berger the national archives. a lot of this is built upon trust when you get a security clearance you passed what is called ass at the top secret it's a standard form 86 the growth your background or part of this is the element of trust. others i don't trust you or should not be giving you access to these documents. we are trusting you to get these documents but a lot of times a year end a skiff or certain facilities you don't take the documents out. there is again, if you try to figure out to be a tenant level maintenance. the end of the day goes back the rules are there, the regulations of the trainings there to get your security clearance, you signed nondisign nondisclosure l undersell the penalties are. so a lot of the stuff is common sense but if it's classified assays in classified location you don't pick it up and take it with you unless you have authorization to do self that's written enough documented. sue ford that's a president, ex- president or vice president of the authorization to do whatever they wa

that letter is buried in the national archives. he didn't keep that one. the mother in law and the the wife were working together to try to get appleton released. even they actually hated one another at this point. eventually the federal government decided to move william seward decided to move appleton to fort warren because they believed it would be to get a conviction in a court than in a new york city court. and appleton, at this point didn't know why he was moved to fort warren on christmas day, 1861. appleton there with a lot of other political prisoners, members of the maryland state legislature, and all these political prisoners just hated william seward and the way they celebrated christmas in 1861 was they made up a doll that looked like seward and they put him on trial for treason against the united states for destroying the constitution. they put him on trial. they had judge and a jury and they found him guilty. then they executed the little doll. and one of the legislators who was there said the guard watching got drunk on eggnog. and so they

secret skiff on national archives during the obama white house. >> former president trump was just that and he was the thing when there are procedures that need to be followed. range for materials and. materials and being protected of it and in terms of the memorabil memoirs. special counsel jack smith and this one week was february 20th. the 2020 trial behind them and former president also has a classified docs case as well. all this stuff and we could make sure and the bottom line and president trump is like the worst criminal since slick willie sutton and somewhere in the middle he's going to the one side it's the truth and we need to get to the bottom and need guidance. >> fred and victoria, thank you for your expertise tonight. elizabeth: we appreciate you very much. joining us now, house border security caucus cochair, he is and one and only congressman brian babon. congressman, this story out of axios that biden is exploding in rage and don't americans deserve better than this? >> absolutely, liz. great to be with you tonight. i would say it's a little too late to dot right thing

of the documents that the british national archives actually publishes and makes available to the public after 30 years have passed , there are reports every year around the year 9 ad when these documents were opened , they are actually read in the iranian media there. they would translate, they would select and print a report. well , these documents are actually very, for example, now i might say that the most interesting year is around 87 was 88, which was the year when the documents related to 1957 were released and well, for us, we were students, we were interested and we were studying, and from those days our friendship and relationship formed. the idea of ​​this program was naturally brought up by them and the documents that we published in this program are documents that they published throughout the year. collecting, categorizing, working methods of documents that are in the same topic and examining them together is formed like this. well, now , how are the titles of the program, because you have 26 episodes , i want to see, that is, do you move forward in a historical way or not

biden turning in classified documents to the national archives, department of justice considered to a search of multiple locations, including his homes, and set for a volunteer interview and in other words cooperated with the investigation. that is the distinction, among others.

[ applause ] i will continue to do what i have always done, stay focused on my job, like you do. my job is being president. that means, going to work with all of you every single day i can. thank you for being great partners. just this week, house democrats showed how united you are. we defeated alejandro mayorkas impeachment resolution. getting out of his hospital bed to command a boat, i talked with him, after, not before. they defeated the israeli only supplemental. they weren't easy votes for you, but all of you came through in a big way. all of this just shows that when we are united-- >> all right, president biden talking about things other than the special counsel report to

partners which you claim he never contacted and lied in front of the american people and the national archivesnformed the committee that they cannot give associate e-mails from his fake accounts because white house counsel has told the national archives not to give them to us. inquiry gives us additional standing to get after the e-mails in the dealings with hunters business partners that he said he never dealt with, his tax records at the end of the day did he pay taxes on the money coming in and are they using the loan monitor as an avoidance mechanism for paying taxes which is a classic money laundering technique. to this case we have an obligation to follow the facts there is so much smoke and fire and clearly hunter thanks to the work of the committee is being indicted but the ties to his father we still have a lot to dig into and we have an uphill climb because the media does not want to talk about it. at the end of the day we have to go after it and i think will change minds when we get to the bottom of the information that is still author. trey: i noticed you were in south carolina if

in contrast, mr biden turned in classified documents to the national archive and the department ofjusticesat for voluntary interview and in other ways co—operated with the investigation. now, i have seen the headlines about my wilful retention of documents. this is not only misleading, butjust plain wrong. on page 215, i know it's a stick document, but on page 215, the special counsel found the exact opposite. he wrote, there is in fact a shortage of evidence that i will fully retain classified material related to afghanistan. on page 12, the special counsel also wrote, on other documents, the decision to decline criminal charges were straightforward. mr biden did not wilfully retain these documents. it said i did not wilfully retain these documents. in addition, some language in the report

it's the national archives position. and so we have actually two sites that we in the national archives, the gerald r ford presidential museum is split the museum is in grand rapids and the library is in ann arbor. so yeah. and then how i got here, i started out at gerald r ford library in 2004 as an archives technician and then i moved to texas ten years. i worked at both bush library and i moved to chicago, worked at the obama library for five years, and now i'm back at the gerald r ford presidential library museum. i'm back home. wonderful. well, you know, for us, i was like to start our mission to inspire civic engagement through the diverse lens. and that's important of illinois history and share with the world the life and legacy of abraham lincoln. and so that really is who we are as an institution. and we're lincoln's official presidential library and, of course, his museum. but we also tell the story of illinois history. so contextualizing lincoln, not just as this sort of great man who went to washington, but r

for me and i talked about that process of having this team and a researcher who goes into the national archives that are literally treasure trove's of nuggets of historical nuggets in a look focusing on the three days in between eisenhower and kennedy's inauguration opened my eyes to moments in history that are either overlooked or not focused on enough so then the second book is about reagan and the final summits with gorbachev and the speech he gives at moscow state university which in the big of history is an amazing speech if you think about it and it just wasn't focused on a lot of the time and then at the brink is fdr churchill and stalin planning d-day at their conference which gets over status by yalta so it's another spotlight that i wanted to give to something that i didn't think was focused on. once that three-day series was done and the beginning and the middle in the end of the cold war i wanted to find something that was also overlooked and i looked at grant and i thought, i know nothing about his presidency other than he was a drunk and it was scandal filled and he basically hand

there is another document marked top secret, but it dates back to march of 1944, stored in the national archive addressed to the secretary of the polesie regional committee: pbc of the levitical state settlements liberated from german rule for the second time occupiers. we read in it. the village of ala, consisting of thirty households, was completely burned by the german occupiers, both residential and commercial buildings. 20 people were evacuated from the population. the german monsters brutally tortured 1,200 people. in addition, 500 people were burned alive; in total, 1,700 people were killed by the invaders in the village of alla. after the war, investigative authorities were looking for people who miraculously survived the ala fire. their memories are an argument against the distortion of historical truth. punitive squads they raided the village of ola, surrounded them, drove everyone out into the street, lined them up in a column, then began to split them into groups of about 50-70 people and lock them up in the building. after, when everyone was locked up. they opened fire on buildings

there must have been hundreds of secret papers. will remain in the national archives, but biden willov, more details. according to special counsel robert hur's 388-page report, who investigated how former vice president and former senator joe biden spent decades illegally turning his delaware garage into a repository of american secrets, the voter has been traveling with tv news for a year. the owner of the property really wanted to appear before the investigation. absent-minded and innocent, and he himself paid for it. there will be no criminal case, but in some ways the verdict of prosecutor khur in the election year is even worse. biden will likely appear before the jury, as he did when we spoke with him, as handsome and a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory. but making sure that biden’s memory is really not very good is as easy as shelling pears. attached to the report are transcripts of the interview protocols of the main person involved - surrealism. it seems so simple. it cannot be, but according to the head of the white house it is written down correctly, so there is

we got them released because the public interest went to court and sued the national archives which islad to give us documents about donald trump but squeezes us and refuses to give information about joe biden. they went to court and sued. these are 60 e-mails out of 82000 pages of e-mails that joe biden was sending under pseudonym accounts. using a private e-mail that is insecure. they raise concern about that in our story. he has a reckless disregard for security and the requirements of the law. it's just another piece of the puzzle that fits what robert hur was talking about today. >> i don't think anybody can really predict how this ends up unfolding ultimately. would you agree with my analysis if you can take off your reporter hat for a second? the odds of joe biden being on the ballot come november have declined significantly today between this disastrous report and a very angry and lashing out press conference with two major gaffes and that as well? >> it wasn't a good day for the biden presidency. this will linger for a long time. i want to point out one footnote in robert hur'

biden turned in classified documents to the national archives and the department of justice. the search of multiple locations including his home sat for voluntary interviews and in other ways cooperated with the investigation, and of quote. i've seen headline since the report was released about my willful retention of documents. this is not only misleading, it is just plain wrong. on page 215 if you have the chance, i know it's a thick document, on page 215 the special counsel found the exact opposite. here's what he wrote. there is in fact a shortage of evidence that i willfully retained classified documents related to afghanistan. on page 12 special counsel also wrote for another documents the decision to decline criminal charges was straightforward. the evidence suggested mr. biden did not willfully retain these documents. the evidence said i did not willfully retain these documents. in addition, there are some attention paid to some parts of the report about my recollection of events. there is reference that i don't remember when my son died. how in the hell dare he raise
