The June 1, 2015 issue of The Weekly Standard examined the Obama administration's release of bin Laden documents, with Stephen F. Hayes and Thomas Joscelyn arguing that the administration's handling of the materials constituted a "modified limited hangout" that did not reflect favorably on the president's judgment. The issue also featured Geoffrey Norman's profile of Bernie Sanders, assessing the Vermont senator's surprisingly serious challenge to Hillary Clinton's Democratic frontrunner status. The cover package highlighted concerns about the administration's transparency and the emerging 2016 presidential race dynamics.
