The recently released special counsel interview with Joe Biden reveals his selective memory during questioning about classified documents.
The interview, conducted by Robert Hur in October 2023, reveals more than confusion. It shows Biden’s strategic avoidance.
Biden’s counsel interview reveals memory lapses under pressure
Biden’s special counsel interview exposes a pattern of memory lapses when facing incriminating questions.
In the first 13 minutes of the interview, Biden struggles to recall key dates and details related to classified documents.
This portrayal feeds the narrative of an “elderly man with a poor memory,” as suggested by special counsel Hur.
However, a deeper listen shows Biden remembers facts clearly when convenient but becomes vague when feeling trapped.
His lawyer frequently interrupts to shield Biden from damaging admissions. She also responds with laughter during tense moments.
Biden recalls details but gives vague legal answers
At one point, Hur compliments Biden’s “photographic recall” as he describes his home’s layout in great detail.
