President
Joe
Biden
has
battled
questions
about
his
age
and
mental
fitness
as
he
prepares
himself
for
another
presidential
campaign
run.
The
president
held
a
press
conference
and
railed
against
Special
Counsel
Robert
Hur’s
report
that
suggested
President
Biden
mishandled
classified
documents
while
taking
shots
at
his
ability
to
remember
details.
As
reported
by
the
Associated
Press,
President
Joe
Biden
held
a
press
event
at
the
White
House
Thursday
(Feb.
7)
evening
aimed
at
addressing
Hur’s
report
which
said
evidence
was
found
that
Biden
held
on
to
classified
information
when
he
was
a
private
citizen
and
shared
these
details
with
a
ghostwriter.
However,
while
Hur
said
his
findings
would
not
bring
charges
against
the
president,
there
were
several
mentions
made
of
the
president’s
ability
to
remember
events.
Biden
addressed
those
claims
and
denied
that
he
shared
classified
information
but
he
also
was
rendered
emotional
after
discussing
his
memory
of
his
son,
Beau
Biden,
who
died
from
cancer
in
2015.
Hur
concluded
that
Biden’s
memory
was
“significantly
limited”
and
raises
new
questions
as
November
looms
in
the
distance.
Another
point
of
contention
is
that
former
president
Donald
Trump
has
been
accused
of
retaining
highly
classified
documents
but
unlike
President
Biden,
Trump
was
charged
by
Special
Counsel
Jack
Smith
and
is
demanding
that
the
Justice
Department
drop
those
charges
citing
Hur’s
findings.
