A recent report by Special Counsel Robert Hur has stirred controversy by highlighting concerns about President Joe Biden's memory and cognitive abilities, drawing attention to his advanced age. The report, which examined Biden's handling of classified documents, described him as an 'elderly man with a poor memory' but cleared him of wrongdoing. In response to the report and ensuing criticism, Biden has humorously addressed the concerns in public speeches, joking about his age and memory. The report's focus on Biden's cognitive state has prompted discussions about potential impacts on his reelection campaign, with some critics calling the report's language superfluous and others accusing it of overstepping its mandate. Despite the controversy, Biden's camp and some senior administration officials have dismissed the claims about his memory as 'completely ridiculous,' while his personal counsel criticized the report as 'shoddy work product.'
