Troubling newly released audio recordings of Joe Biden speaking to special counsel Robert Hur in 2023 lay bare the declining president's memory lapses and include one particularly disturbing moment when he struggles to recall when his son Beau died.
While in office, Biden asserted executive privilege over the audio tapes of his interview with ex-special counsel Hur, who went on record describing Biden as 'elderly' and 'forgetful' and with 'diminished faculties'.
A then-80-year old Biden fails to recall when his son Beau passed away and even when he left office as vice president under Barack Obama in an interview recorded seven months before the debate disaster against Donald Trump that effectively ended his re-election run.
Hur asserted during the investigation over the mishandling of classified evidence that jurors would see the president as 'a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.'
The audio shows Biden - who has long had a stutter - slurring his words, losing his thought process and not being able to recall important facts about his own life.
