EXCERPT:
BIDEN: "Look, first of all, we didn’t have the information that we ultimately had in January, number one. Number two, we didn’t want to play into Putin’s hands, doing the very thing he was trying to do delegitimize the honesty and the integrity of the electoral process. What would have happened if the President of the United States Barack Obama came out and said, you know, the FBI is -- has information that the Trump team is colluding with the Russians to try to tip the election to Hillary Clinton? It would have been chaos. And we didn’t have the data we have now. We didn’t have the data we had even in January."
