President Biden presented himself to interviewers as an “elderly man with a poor memory,” Special Counsel Robert Hur said in his report about his investigation into Biden’s retention of classified documents.
Hur declined to pursue criminal charges against the sitting president and described how Joe Biden willfully possessed classified information covering important national security matters, the special counsel report details. The report provides an assessment of how investigators perceived Joe Biden’s mental faculties.
“We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” Hur’s report reads.
