During a recent congressional hearing, Special Counsel Hur faced questioning regarding his decision not to bring criminal charges against President Biden in a matter concerning classified documents. The focus of the inquiry was on President Biden's memory, age, and understanding of his legal responsibilities related to handling classified materials.
Special Counsel Hur highlighted that President Biden's memory was significantly limited during recorded interviews in 2017 and 2023, raising concerns about how he would present himself to a jury if he were to testify in a trial. The comparison of President Biden's memory from his time in the Senate and as vice president to his current state was also discussed.
