While he was vice president, Joe Biden received sensitive communications via his private email accounts created under a fictitious identity, including foreign policy discussions with his national security adviser, schedules of meetings with Cabinet secretaries and a summary of at least one intelligence briefing to President Barack Obama, according to new emails obtained by Just the News.
While none of the newly released emails had classification markings on them, several included sensitive information transmitted over an insecure Google email account that could be of value to foreign powers and hostile spy agencies.
To date Biden has not offered any explanation why his private email account was used and the emails were apparently not forwarded to secure government servers.
The Archives says it has tens of thousands of such emails from three Biden personal pseudonym accounts used during his vice presidency.
One sensitive email hinted at frictions between Obama and Biden which emerged on television talk shows over the raid that killed reviled terrorist leader Osama bin Laden, who ordered the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on America.
One clear pattern is that Biden staffers felt comfortable sending official information to Biden's pseudonymic accounts, including schedules of meetings, even when they involved sensitive figures.
"Sir, this is what the day would look like if you depart on Thursday for the service," Cheung wrote Biden on his private email account.
