to
investigate Joe Biden, the administration appeared to accidentally send its
talking points on the scandal to House Democrats.

The talking points encouraged the president’s political allies to argue
that there was no direct quid pro quo conveyed in the memo and that the
whistleblower complaint was handled “by the book”.

“The case just shows another example of the ‘Deep State’, the media, and
the Democrats in Congress damaging our national security by leaking
confidential information,” they go on to say.

After realizing the error, the White House sent another email to House
Democrats, this time requesting to “recall” the original message.

However, it was too late, and shortly after the mistake was made
screenshots of the talking points quickly spread on social media, catching

While the Democratic party is yet to officially confirm whether they
disregarded the email or not, the evidence suggests that it may now be too
late.
