Biden denied yesterday that he’d advised Obama not to go ahead with the bin Laden raid.

He said in 2012 that he told Obama “don’t go” without more info. In 2015, he started saying he’d said “go.”

A look at what he’s said and what others have said: cnn.com/2020/01/04/pol…
In Biden's 2012 account, he said he thought he owed Obama a firm opinion at a key group meeting, and had said "don't go" before doing more intel work.

In Biden's 2015 account, he'd said he'd never give Obama a firm opinion at a group meeting, so waited, and said "go" in private.
It's not possible to definitively fact check what Biden might have said in private to Obama, but Biden's 2012 and 2015 accounts are incompatible.
