Yeah, but...
You're in the White House press office. A major news organization approaches you with documents purportedly about the President which you have never seen and gives you 3 hours to comment before they air them. In that short amount of time you can't conclusively determine whether they are fraudulent or not, since you've never seen them and they purportedly come from a source you haven't had searched. If you come out at that point and say they are fake, don't you look horribly foolish if you say that and later are proven wrong?
