President Joe Biden struggled to remember key dates and said he was unfamiliar with how classified documents ended up in his possession, according to a transcript of his hourslong interview with then-special counsel Robert Hur.
The transcript of Hur’s interview with Biden, reviewed by the Washington Examiner, is part of a wider report released in February that concluded Biden should not be criminally charged for his mishandling of classified documents, in part because of the president’s age. One reason Hur said he did not recommend charges was because Biden’s memory was “significantly limited” and he would come across to a jury as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
