Staff Reports
President Joe Biden has been making waves once again with his recent prime-time address regarding the special counsel Robert Hur’s report into his handling of classified documents. The White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, shared that the address was “the president’s idea” and emphasized the importance of Biden speaking directly to the American people about the report.
Many Republicans are gearing up to criticize Biden over the Hur report leading up to the November elections, and the White House has faced questions about whether the transcripts of Biden’s interview with the special counsel will be released. Jean-Pierre remained evasive, saying that it was “not a no” or “yes” and that there is a process involved.
During his address, Biden defended his handling of classified documents, but then caused alarm with comments about his memory when he mistakenly referred to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi as the president of Mexico. This incident has sparked further concerns about Biden’s cognitive abilities.
The special counsel, Hur, decided not to prosecute Biden over his handling of classified documents, citing that a jury would likely find him to be “a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.”
This latest incident has fueled criticism and skepticism from conservative circles, as they continue to question Biden’s fitness for office. Stay tuned as this story develops and becomes a hot topic in the upcoming elections.
