Biden says memory is fine despite report detailing his memory issues

A hostile President Joe Biden Thursday night said his “memory is fine” despite a special prosecutor’s report released earlier in the day that questioned his mental accuity.

“My memory is fine,” Biden said during a hastily called address to the nation where he got hostile with reporters who asked about his mental fitness. “Take a look what I’ve done since I became president.”

The report in question was released by the special counsel who investigated Biden over his possession of classified documents after he left the White House during his term as vice president. The report noted Biden won’t be charged with a crime for his handling and sharing of the classified documents, but the special counsel report accompanying the decision raised serious questions about his memory.

“In his interview with our office, Mr. Biden’s memory was worse,” according to the report. “He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended (‘if it was 2013 – when did I stop being Vice President?’), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began (‘in 2009, am I still Vice President?’) “He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died,” the report continued. “And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him. Among other things, he mistakenly said he ‘had a real difference’ of opinion with General Karl Eikenberry, when, in fact, Eikenberry was an ally whom Mr. Eiden cited approvingly in his Thanksgiving memo to President Obama.”

During his late Thursday news conference, Biden said he was interviewed shortly after the Islamic terrorist group Hamas attacked Israel and Israel responded.

“I was in the middle of handling an international crisis,” Biden said.

He angrily accused prosecutors of including his memory issues, particularly relating to his son’s death, in the report.

“How in the hell he dare raise that,” he said. “It has no place in this report.”

The 81-year-old president is seeking another four-year term. He would be 86 if he is elected to and completes a second term.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
