Wikileaks founder claims he gave docs to White House 2 weeks ago

  Today on Studio B (with the unctuous drama queen Shep Smith) it was reported that Wikileaks founder Assange, in defending against charges that his leaks exposed innocent Afghans informants to being identified, claims that he gave the entire pile of documents to the White House to review, asking if anyone would be hurt by the release of these documents.
  He also claimed that the White House did not respond. This story doesn't seem to be percolating but it is significant because someone is lying. Imagine all those Afghanis friendly to Americans and NATO be subjected to torture and murder because of their allegiances. The White House claims they found out about the documents through the news. Over at Fox News:

Jonathan Hunt: 

The founder of Wikileaks told Judge Napolitano he presented all the documents to the White House weeks ago and asked them if there was anything they didn't want published. That flies in the face of what the White House told us - that they only found out htese documents were about to be made public last week from newspapers. So either the Wikileaks founder is not telling the truth or the White House is not telling the truth. Someone has to be wrong here.

And here:

According to Napolitano, he asked Assange if he contacted the Obama Administration about the documents before releasing them. Assange said WikiLeaks did so in order that the Obama Administration would have the opportunity to request redactions of any information that might be especially harmful. But he never got a response from the WH.

Did the White House then essentially approve of the security breach - at least by purposefully not responding? Did someone in the WH mishandle the information (a likely excuse to follow)? Is Assange telling the truth?
