This is a report that is already creating a lot of buzz. On Thursday, a special prosecutor who examined classified documents kept by Joe Biden after the end of his vice presidency decided not to recommend prosecution. But in a scathing report, Robert Hurr, a Republican, described the American president as “an old man” with a “vague memory”, thus offering Donald Trump golden political ammunition nine months before the presidential election.
Robert Hurr concluded that Joe Biden “voluntarily withheld” sensitive documents and shared some classified information about Afghanistan with the author assigned to write his memoirs. But believes he wouldn’t have been able to convince the jury “beyond a reasonable doubt.” Especially since Joe Biden, he writes, “would undoubtedly have presented himself to the jury, as he did during his trial, as a friendly old man with a bad memory”.
“Inappropriate comments”, condemns the White House
In detail, the prosecutor evokes a “fuzzy memory” of Biden, “who could not remember when he was vice president” or the year “when his son Beau died”. In a press release, the White House believes the “case is closed,” but condemns the prosecutor’s “inappropriate comments.”
Nine months before a potential rematch against Donald Trump, three out of four Americans believe Joe Biden is “too old,” at age 81, to be president for four more years. Donald Trump regularly mocks his opponent’s cognitive abilities. Which hasn’t helped his case in recent days by talking up François Mitterrand instead of Emmanuel Macron and in 2021 talking to former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who died in … .2017.
