The White House clashed with the Department of Justice over a special counsel report that included critical language about President Joe Biden's age and memory, with the president's attorneys claiming the report violated DOJ policy. Despite the report's damning characterizations of Biden's mental acuity, it concluded that no criminal charges were warranted, leading to criticism from the president's critics and a public perception that he is too old to serve another term. The Justice Department rebuffed efforts to omit the critical language, and the special counsel is scheduled to testify about the report to Congress in March.

The decision not to file criminal charges against President Biden for mishandling classified documents was seen as a legal exoneration but a political disaster, as the investigation concluded that he was a "well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory" and had "diminished faculties in advancing age." President Biden angrily fired back, accusing the report's authors of making "extraneous commentary" about his age and mental capacity, highlighting the potential political damage despite the lack of criminal charges.
