CNN anchor Pamela Brown asked Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) on the “major difference” between President Joe Biden’s classified documents scandal and former President Donald Trump’s classified documents controversy.
Brown went back and forth with the House Republican, who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, as he tried to deny that the search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property was related to the “justice investigation” on Saturday.
“If you are intellectually honest with yourself, the main difference is here [is] that Trump and his team defied a subpoena,” said Brown.
He added: “They said they turned everything around. But evidence was developed during the investigation that classified documents were moved, which started the obstruction of justice investigation, which is the main difference here as to why the FBI searched the house.
“This is not an obstruction of justice investigation,” Turner replied.
“Really, that’s part of it, really,” Brown said in return.
The two are no strangers to on-air mix-ups as Brown called out Republicans for setting “double standards” for different types of politicians last year.
