Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign sought to downplay the declassified information showing Biden requested the unmasking of Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump’s one-time incoming national security adviser.

Biden was vice president when he made the request on Jan. 12, 2017, according to newly declassified documents.
