President Joe Biden repeatedly told the special prosecutor that he did not intend to keep classified information after leaving the vice presidency - the special prosecutor continued the theme of the current White House chief executive's "accurate" memory by addressing the topic of Biden's testimony to Congress.
This is reported UNN with reference to the Associated Press.
Details
After a year-long investigation into Biden's improper retention of classified documents, concerns about the incumbent president's age and memory are being clarified, which were heightened by the release of Special Prosecutor Robert Hoor's report.
In a recent interview with prosecutors, Biden said he had no recollection of that conversation or that he actually discovered any documents. He said that if he did discuss anything questionable with an unspecified "writer," it was about a 20-page sensitive memo he wrote to then-President Barack Obama in 2009 opposing the troop buildup in Afghanistan.
It was also learned that Special U.S. Attorney Robert Hur will appear before the House Judiciary Committee, one of the groups investigating impeachment proceedings against the 81-year-old Biden.
Hoor's report said he would not pursue charges against Biden for keeping classified documents after he left the vice presidency in 2017.
Hur detailed in his report how his findings about Biden differ greatly from special prosecutor Jack Smith's findings about Republican leader Donald Trump, who is accused of willfully possessing classified documents.
Biden, by his own admission, has preserved such a vast assortment of photographs, documents, and artifacts in his more than 50 years of public life that he cannot keep track of everything.
We also took into account that Mr. Biden would likely present himself in court as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory, as he did during our questioning
Biden, the oldest person to hold the office of U.S. president in history, has rejected the characterization in his public remarks, saying his memory was fine, and Vice President Kamala Harris called it politically motivated.
Recall
The Justice Department said that although Biden inadvertently storedand possessed classified documents at his home, he would not face criminal charges.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump called current President Joe Biden a "moron" and said that Russian President Putin is threatening nuclear weapons because of Biden's weaknesses and said that Russian President Putin is threatening nuclear weapons because of Biden's weakness.
