Leaked audio shows shows Joe Bidens memory gaps during the special council interview

Newly published audio recordings by President Joe Bidens October 2023 interviews with the special consultant Robert Hur have revealed disturbing facts in his memory, and took care of his intellectual sharpness again during his term. The records obtained from Axios show that the president repeatedly fought to remember basic details, including his son Beau, died in the year in which Donald Trump was elected and how classified documents came into possession.The six hours of the interviews were part of the investigation by Hur in relation to bidges handling of classified materials in his house and former office. Although Biden ultimately had no criminal charges, Hur concluded in February 2024 that the president's prosecution would probably fail due to his advanced age and cognitive difficulties. The audio now publicly confirms what the transcript alone could not: Long silence, lyned words and a former president who often relies on his lawyers to close memory gaps.In one moment bidges seemed to be forgotten when Beau died and only remembered after requesting his legal team. When he tried to promise about his book, Dad, the recording conquered a ticking grandfather clock in the background, which emphasized the extended breaks in his speech. Bidens lawyers often occurred to help deliver words or correct data. At some point, bidges did not seem certain why he had kept a classified memo about Afghanistan, which vaguely indicates that it could have been “about the posterity of posterity”, a remark that had quickly decreased from his lawyer who insisted that bidding was not deliberately maintained the document.Although parts of the interview reveal moments of warmth and even humor that remember the arch hunting in Mongolia and drove his corvette with Jay Leno. While he generally remained engaged, he often did not meander off-topic and asked for a gentle detour from Sonder Hur and his team.The White House had opposed to publish the audio for months and claimed that it could be misused by political opponents. The Republicans, however, push aggressively for their release, with some Attorney General Merrick Garland being protected for further examination of bidges. After Garland only published the transcripts, the Republicans of the Congress Republicans held him in the contempt for the congress, followed by legal challenges of news organizations.The matter was still in court when biden left the office.
