  • Biden was joking when he said it, a critical detail omitted from the truncated video clip circulating online. On June 26, 2023, claims began to spread on social media platforms that U.S. President Joe Biden said he had "sold a lot of state secrets." The claim spread as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to the U.S. for an official state visit. A brief viral video clip appeared to show Biden saying, while seated next to Modi at a table full of people, "I was just thanking the — anyway, I started off without you, and I sold a lot of state secrets and a lot of very important things that we shared." We found the same clip posted on Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, and Reddit. U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. and former Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake shared it on their Twitter accounts along with comments such as "Joe Biden admitted to actual treason." Joe Biden admitted to actual treason. "I sold a lot of state secrets and a lot of very important things" — Kari Lake (@KariLake) June 27, 2023 The viral clip is real, but it was truncated, omitting important context — namely that he was joking. It was recorded at the U.S.-India Technology Roundtable held at the White House on June 23, 2023. Apple, Google, and Microsoft's CEOs were among the technology executives invited to the event. A video of the remarks posted to the White House's YouTube account provided the missing context for what Biden said in the viral clip. We also found it in the official White House transcript of the remarks. At the very beginning of his remarks, Biden said: PRESIDENT BIDEN: Okay. We — I was just thanking the — anyway, I started off without you, and I sold a lot of state secrets and a lot of very important things that we shared. (Laughter.) Now, all kidding aside — look, we're teaming up to design and develop new technologies that are going to transform the lives of our people around the world. The viral clip had been edited such that it ended before Biden said he was kidding. We reached out to the White House for comment and will update this check if we hear back. We've previously fact-checked other questionable remarks made by Biden, such as the time he said a new railroad was planned to be built across the Indian Ocean.
