He gets angry at the claim that he doesn’t remember the date of his eldest son’s death, calling it “impossible”
U.S. President Joe Biden said on the 8th (local time) that the special prosecutor’s report investigating his storage of classified documents pointed out that the president’s memory was “fuzzy,” “incorrect,” “poor,” and “had reached a significant limit.” , “My memory is fine,” he countered.
President Biden was especially angry at the report’s point that he did not remember when his eldest son, Beau Biden, died, saying, “How dare you talk like this about your son’s death?” “Honestly, when I was asked the question, I thought it was none of their business,” he said. Every Memorial Day, we hold a service in memory of our son. “No one needs to remind me about Beau Biden’s death,” he said. “I am the most qualified person to be president of the United States.”
However, while defending himself, President Biden made another mistake while discussing the Israel-Hamas war, such as incorrectly referring to Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as the president of Mexico.
The investigative report released on the 8th by Special Prosecutor Robert Huh, who investigated the president’s storage of classified documents, shows that President Biden kept classified security-related documents when he was a civilian from stepping down as vice president and returning to the presidency, but decided not to indict him, but the jury decided not to indict him. He explained that it is difficult to convince people that a president in his 80s committed a serious crime, and that President Biden’s old age was the main reason for not indicting him.
The contents of such a report could undermine President Biden’s claims that he can sufficiently manage the government and protect the country.
Meanwhile, the White House said, “It is neither surprising nor unusual that President Biden cannot remember dates or details of events that occurred several years ago,” and added, “We do not believe that the special counsel’s handling of the report on President Biden’s memory is accurate or appropriate.” No. “The report was very biased in its treatment of the lack of memory for ordinary, old events.”
In fact, it is common for people subject to government investigations to say they do not remember events or conversations to avoid problems such as perjury. In addition, the special prosecutor did not release the transcript of the interview with President Biden, so some of the context is unclear. Former President Trump also boasts of his excellent memory, but sometimes says he cannot remember certain events during legal proceedings.
