mishandled classified documents, including some related to Afghanistan, in the time since he was vice president and senator but that his actions did not amount to criminal conduct.
The report provided a jarring glimpse into the mental state of Biden, who is 81 years old and and running for reelection. “Mr. Biden’s memory was significantly limited, both during his recorded interviews with the ghostwriter in 2017, and in his interview with our office in 2023,” Hur wrote. The building that housed office space of President Joe Biden’s former institute, the Penn Biden Center, is seen at the corner of Constitution and Louisiana Avenue NW, in Washington, Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2023. |
Biden publicly maintained that he was “surprised” to learn of the documents, and Hur said he found no evidence of intent behind the president’s retention of them. And while Biden White House counsel Richard Sauber initially responded on Jan. 9, 2023, that the president’s personal attorneys discovered a “small number” of documents at the Penn Biden Center, that story quickly evolved, and lawyers subsequently discovered more documents in additional locations.
