Biden audio from special counsel interview highlights frequent memory lapses, difficulty staying on topic
Briefly

Former President Joe Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur exposed his diminished memory and tendency to stray off topic. Audio recorded in October 2023 demonstrated Biden, now 82, often rambled and struggled with key dates, even for significant events like his son Beau's death.

The insight into Biden's mental state raises concerns about his ability during the classified documents investigation.
