"Nuanced Portrait: The Complicated Transcript of Biden-Hur Special Counsel Interview"
A full transcript of President Biden's special counsel interview reveals a nuanced portrait of the exchanges between Biden and special counsel Robert Hur, with Biden frequently joking and digressing but also providing detailed explanations about his son's death and his handling of classified documents. The transcript shows Biden's interactions with prosecutors as more chummy than antagonistic, and provides insight into his memory lapses and detailed discussions about his home and personal experiences. The interview led the special counsel to conclude that Biden would not be prosecuted for mishandling classified documents due to his "poor memory," a characterization that drew anger from Biden and his advisers.
