President Biden angrily pushed back Thursday after special counsel Robert Hur concluded he carelessly handled classified materials and depicted him as a hapless, confused man who didn’t even know when his son died.
President Biden angrily pushed back Thursday after special counsel Robert Hur concluded he carelessly handled classified materials and depicted him as a hapless, confused man who didn’t even know when his son died.
Mr. Hur’s 345 page was a legal exoneration but a political nightmare for the president, raising new questions about Mr. Biden’s cognitive abilities following three appearances recent days in which he claimed to have had recent conversations with long-dead world leaders.
In a hastily-called last-minute press conference, Mr. Biden lashed out at the special counsel and reporters.
At times he ditched his folksy “Uncle Joe” personally, displaying a sharp temper in response to questions about his age and mental capacity. The Hur report said that Mr. Biden twice asked interviewers when he was vice president.
