A recently published audio recording from an interview conducted by a special counsel reveals that U.S. President Joe Biden had difficulty recalling certain significant dates during questioning about his handling of classified documents. Specifically, the recording captures moments where Biden could not remember the year his son died or the year Donald Trump was first elected president. During the interview, Biden is heard pausing and requesting clarification regarding these dates. The special counsel, who was investigating whether Biden had mishandled classified materials, included these memory lapses in their official report. Despite noting these incidents, the report concluded that there was insufficient evidence to pursue criminal charges against Biden. The release of the audio is part of the ongoing transparency efforts related to the investigation.
