The former vice president said this to NBC’s Chuck Todd on Sunday:

„What happened was [the president] and I met every single morning with the director of the CIA, with the national security advisers six days a week and reviewed everything basically in the intelligence arena. … This man knew what we were doing. He authorized it, he approved it. A statement by the Senate Democrats for partisan purposes that the president didn’t know what was going on is just a flat-out lie.“
