Audio of President Joe Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur has been leaked, raising questions about his memory. During the interview, Biden reportedly had difficulty recalling key events, including the year of his son Beau's death and the year Donald Trump was elected president.
The interview was conducted as part of Hur's investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents after he left the vice presidency. The special counsel's report, released earlier this year, already noted concerns about Biden's memory and described him as a "well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."
The leaked audio provides further insight into the special counsel's assessment. While some defend Biden, arguing that anyone can have moments of forgetfulness, others view the audio as evidence of cognitive decline. The incident has reignited the debate surrounding Biden's age and fitness for office as he seeks re-election in 2024. This is a developing story.
