The President of the United States, Joe Biden, has highlighted this his “memory is fine” dAfter special prosecutor Robert Hur pointed out that the president’s memory was “significantly impaired” in a document in his case for withholding confidential documents for which he ultimately will not be charged.
“No, look, my memory is fine. Look at what I’ve done since I’ve been president.” “None of you thought I could overcome any of what I have accomplished,” Biden said during a White House news conference.
The president has differentiated his case from former President Donald Trump, who is accused of precisely storing and distributing secret documents, cooperating with the investigation and failing to obstruct justice “like Trump.”
In this sense, he has shifted part of the blame to his team of advisors, who, according to his version, should have returned, although he admitted that he should have paid more attention to this issue. “I thought they had been returned. And the facts are that they have come to the firm conclusion: that I have not broken the law,” the president added.
He criticizes the suggestion that he does not remember his son’s death
Biden has also sharply criticized the portion of the special counsel’s report that mentions his failure to remember the moments surrounding the death of his son Joseph “Beau” Biden, who died of brain cancer in 2015.
“There is a hint that I cannot remember when my son died. How dare you bring this up? Honestly, when they asked me the question, I thought to myself that it’s none of their business (…) I don’t need anyone to remind me when he died,” he added.
Special prosecutor Robert Hur concluded in a report that United States President Joe Biden “deliberately” withheld and disclosed confidential documents, even though he ruled out indictment against him due to his advanced age and cooperation during the trial. .
Shortly afterward, Biden issued a statement emphasizing that the investigation was “extensive” and stretched back to the 1970s, when he was a senator. “I am glad to see that they have come to the conclusion I expected: that no charges will be filed in this case and that the matter is closed,” he said.
