Fox News’ Peter Doocy pressed John Kirby, the National Security Council strategic communications coordinator, at Wednesday’s briefing after Karine Jean-Pierre refused to engage.
Doocy first asked Kirby how difficult it is to exit government facilities with classified material in light of the ongoing investigation into the documents in President Joe Biden’s possession by special counsel Robert Hur. In response, Kirby broke down how a government official is required to handle classified information inside a skiff.
“Everybody who goes into a skiff knows what the requirements are to go in and knows you can’t bring personal devices in and you certainly can’t leave with material unless that material is appropriately secured,” Kirby responded.
“And usually what happens to someone in the chain of command if they do leave with classified material that they’re not supposed to have or that is not secure?” Doocy asked.
“If you do it inadvertently or you realize you don’t have it secured in a locked bag, you self-report, which is exactly what the president did, self-reported,” said Kirby. “But you self-report and you make sure that you get the material back securely where it belongs and that you’re transparent about it.”
