"Biden Defends Memory in Face of Special Counsel's Report"

The White House counsel's office requested special counsel Robert Hur to revise language in his report on President Biden's handling of classified documents, particularly the descriptions of Biden's memory as "inflammatory." The report highlighted Biden's struggles to remember events, leading Hur's team to believe a jury might see him as an "elderly man with a poor memory." Biden addressed the report's assertions, defending his memory and criticizing the "extraneous commentary" in the report. The report found no criminal charges warranted, but the focus on Biden's memory could be politically damaging. Republicans seized on the report's descriptions, while Biden's personal attorneys asked for revisions.
