- **Published:** 2016-08-25

The National Archives confirms that State Department briefing videos are official federal records, making the deliberate erasure of footage a potential crime. The controversy stems from a 2013 briefing where Jen Psaki's comments about the timing of Iran nuclear talks were edited out of the official video. The State Department initially blamed a "glitch," but the hosts argue it was a case of deliberate censorship regarding the administration's transparency.
