Good afternoon. The US president, Joe Biden, has insisted his “memory is fine” after a report from the justice department referred to him as a “well-meaning elderly man with poor memory”.
It was one of the reasons the justice department gave for not bringing criminal charges over his handling of highly classified materials. Later in the same press conference, however, Biden mistakenly referred to Egypt’s leader Abdel Fatah al-Sisi as “the president of Mexico” in response to a question on the Israel-Gaza conflict.
