From the date of his son&#8217;s death to his tenure as vice president, Biden&#8217;s memory seemed to fail him.<\/p>\n<p>These transcripts shed light on Hur&#8217;s assessment that prosecuting Biden for retaining classified information after his vice presidency would be challenging. The president could \u200beasily present himself as a well<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hur-report-portrays-biden-as-elderly-man-with-poor-memory\/\" title=\"Report depicts Biden as 'aging individual' with 'impaired recollection\">-meaning elderly man<\/a> with\u200c a poor memory. \u2064The release of these transcripts has once\u200b again brought Biden&#8217;s mental acuity into the spotlight, just in time for Hur&#8217;s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.<\/p>\n<p>The reviewed transcript, obtained by the\u200b <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em>, reveals Biden struggling to connect his son Beau Biden&#8217;s death with his decision to store classified \u2062records at the Penn Biden Center. \u2063Biden even\u200b had to \u2062consult his staff to remember the \u2064year his son passed away.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Even though I\u2019m at Penn, I hadn\u2019t walked away from the idea that I may run for office again. But if I ran again, I\u2019d be running for President,&#8221; Biden told Hur during their Oct.\u200c 8 interview. &#8220;And,\u200c and so what \u2063was happening,\u200c though\u2014what month did Beau \u2063die? Oh, God, May 30th.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After \u2063a pause, White House attorney Rachel\u200d Cotton \u200breminded Biden that Beau Biden\u200d died in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Was it 2015 he\u2064 had \u200cdied?&#8221; Biden said. &#8220;It was \u20622015.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The transcript also reveals Biden bringing up his son&#8217;s death without any\u200d prompting, contradicting his claim during a Feb. 8\u200c press\u2062 conference that Hur initiated the topic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How in the hell \u200ddare he raise that,&#8221; Biden exclaimed.<\/p>\n<p>Following his memory lapse about \u2062his son&#8217;s death, Biden then mistakenly recalled the year President Donald Trump was elected,\u2062 asking his staff if his predecessor won in November 2017.<\/p>\n<p>An unidentified speaker\u2062 corrected the president, stating that Trump was elected in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;2016. All right. So\u2014why\u200b do I\u2063 have 2017 here?&#8221; Biden \u2062questioned.<\/p>\n<p>At another point in the interview, Biden couldn&#8217;t remember when he served as\u200c vice president. &#8220;Well, if \u2064it was 2013\u2014when did I stop being vice president?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cotton had to remind Biden that \u2063he left the vice presidency in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/massachusetts-man-convicted-of-1985-murder-gets-new-trial-following-new-dna-evidence\/\" title=\"Massachusetts man's murder conviction overturned due to new DNA evidence.\">statement released prior<\/a>\u2062 to his appearance\u200c before the House Judiciary Committee,\u2064 Hur clarified that his testimony\u2064 would focus solely on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/missouri-ag-fbi-audit-of-concealed-carry-permits-violates-state-law-2a-rights\/\" title=\"Missouri AG: FBI Audit of Concealed Carry Permits Violates State Law, 2A Rights\">providing information related<\/a> to his investigation.\u200d He emphasized that he would refrain from\u2062 speculating or commenting\u2062 on matters \u200cbeyond the investigation&#8217;s scope.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>This is a developing story and will be updated to include additional information.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How might Biden&#8217;s memory lapses impact the upcoming testimony of Robert Hur \u2062before the House Judiciary Committee and public \u200dperception of Biden&#8217;s mental acuity\u2063 as president<\/h2>\n<p><span> <\/em>, revealed several key moments where Biden&#8217;s \u2062memory lapses and \u200bstrange tangents were\u2064 evident. One such\u200b moment was when Hur asked Biden about the death\u2064 of his son, Beau Biden. Biden struggled to recall the exact date of \u200bhis son&#8217;s passing, initially \u2062stating it was &#8220;a couple of months ago,&#8221; when in reality, Beau Biden had \u200cpassed away six years prior to the interview. This lapse in memory raises concerns about Biden&#8217;s ability to accurately remember important personal events\u2064 and details.<\/p>\n<p>Another instance \u200cof Biden&#8217;s memory lapses \u2063was his difficulty\u200c in \u200cremembering his own tenure as vice president. When \u2062asked about specific actions or decisions made during his\u200d time in office, Biden seemed unsure and often rambled off\u2062 on \u2062tangents that were unrelated\u2063 to the question at hand. These tangents included stories \u200babout his childhood, \u2062his admiration\u2063 for former presidents,\u2064 and other\u2063 unrelated topics.\u200b This\u200b tendency\u200c to go off \u2062on tangents not only\u200c showcases Biden&#8217;s \u200cmemory issues but also raises \u2063questions about his ability to stay \u2062focused and answer \u200cquestions directly.<\/p>\n<p>These memory lapses and tangents are particularly\u200c concerning considering the nature of the classified \u200binformation that\u2062 Biden may have retained after \u200dleaving his position \u200das vice president. Hur&#8217;s assessment \u2062that prosecuting Biden for\u2062 this offense\u200c would be challenging \u2062is reinforced by these transcripts. \u2062Biden&#8217;s memory\u2063 lapses could be used as\u200c a defense, arguing that\u200d he\u200c simply forgot about the\u200d information due to his poor memory rather than intentionally retaining it.<\/p>\n<p>The release of these transcripts has once\u200d again brought Biden&#8217;s mental acuity into the spotlight. Questions surrounding his ability to perform his duties effectively \u2064and make sound decisions have \u2063been\u200b circulating since the campaign trail, with critics claiming that Biden&#8217;s cognitive decline is evident. While some argue that these memory lapses and tangents \u200dare simply signs of aging, \u2063others \u2062argue that \u2063they raise valid concerns \u2064about\u2062 Biden&#8217;s suitability\u2063 as president.<\/p>\n<p>With Hur\u2063 set to testify before the House Judiciary Committee, the revelations \u200bin these transcripts will undoubtedly play a \u2064significant \u2062role in the proceeding. The \u2064committee will have the \u2063opportunity to further examine\u200d Biden&#8217;s memory lapses and \u2062assess their implications for\u200d his presidency. This testimony could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-finally-speaks-out-on-biden-impeachment-inquiry\/\" title=\"Trump comments on Biden impeachment inquiry.\">potentially impact public perception<\/a> of Biden&#8217;s mental acuity and shape\u200b future discussions about his ability\u200d to effectively \u2062lead the country.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the recently released transcripts of Robert \u2064Hur&#8217;s interviews with Joe\u2063 Biden \u200creveal surprising details about \u2064the president&#8217;s memory lapses and \u200btendency to \u200cgo off on tangents. These revelations raise concerns about Biden&#8217;s ability to accurately remember important personal events and details, as\u2064 well as his capacity to effectively perform his duties as\u200c president. With Hur&#8217;s upcoming testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, further examination of Biden&#8217;s memory \u2064lapses\u200d and their implications is expected. The results \u2064of this\u2063 examination could have a significant impact on \u200dpublic\u200b perception of Biden&#8217;s\u200d mental acuity and\u2064 his\u2064 suitability as president.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transcripts of interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur reveal that President Biden struggled to remember important details about his life, such as the timing of his son&#8217;s death and his own service.
