WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden forcefully defended himself against charges that he suffers from memory loss, delivering remarks Thursday night at the White House in response to special counsel Robert Hur's report on his handling of classified information. Hur’s report included characterizations of the president’s mental fitness, saying his memory was “significantly limited, both during his recorded interviews with the ghostwriter in 2017, and in his interview with our office in 2023.
Senior Biden aides believed it was imperative for the president to call out what they view as purely political criticism from Hur because, they argue, the special counsel was concerned about potential blowback from conservatives for not charging Biden with a crime, one of the people said. The White House also felt, as evidenced by the president’s fiery remarks about knowing when his late son Beau died, that the attacks on his memory were “way out of line” and “gratuitous,” the source said.
