President Joe Biden is facing the fallout of a last-minute, messy press conference late Thursday where he attempted to defend his mental fitness but appeared to only amplify concerns.
Biden called the press conference after the Special Counsel tasked with looking into his handling of classified documents announced Biden had committed a crime but should not be charged.
In the 388-page report, Special Counsel Robert Hur went on to list several examples of Biden’s mental lapses, calling him an “elderly man with poor memory” whom a jury would find too sympathetic. The report said Biden could not remember when he was Vice President or when his son died, among other things.
During the press conference, Biden defended his memory and touted that he was not charged but proceeded to make multiple gaffes and memory lapses that only raised more concerns.
