US President Joe Biden has taken aim at the man who led the investigation into his classified documents case, who described him as a 'sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory'.
In a fiery exchange with reporters in the White House on Friday, United States President Joe Biden hit back at allegations that his memory and mental faculties are in decline after a report by a special prosecutor brought them into the spotlight. Biden was addressing the newly released report surrounding his alleged mishandling of classified documents in a surprise address to the nation, telling reporters: "I did not break the law, period".
Hur found that Biden took a handwritten memo to then-President Obama in 2009 opposing a planned troop surge in Afghanistan, and handwritten notes related to intelligence briefings and national security meetings. Biden told his ghostwriter during a conversation in February 2017, a month after leaving the vice presidency, that he had "just found all the classified stuff" downstairs in a home he was renting in Virginia, referring to documents on the US war in Afghanistan.
