Obama: "No Evidence" Petraeus Scandal Jeopardized National Security
Those classified files found on Broadwell's computer? The government classifies everything!
President Obama today said he has seen "no evidence" that U.S. national security was jeopardized in the unfolding scandal between disgraced former CIA director David Petraeus and his biographer, Paula Broadwell.
"I have no evidence at this point from what I've seen that classified information was disclosed that in any way would have had a negative impact on our national security," Obama told reporters at his first news conference since winning re-election.
