Some Audio Of Biden’s Special Counsel Interview Released – ‘Painful’ To Hear

The audio of former Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview with former President Joe Biden has been released, and it is not flattering.
In one of the saddest parts of the interview, the former president struggled to remember when his son, Beau Biden, died, which was May 30, 2015, The Daily Wire reported.
The former president was able to remember the month and day but struggled to remember the year until members of the special counsel’s team intervened to prompt him.
“What month did Beau die? Oh God, May 30th,” the former president said.
“Biden also gets the year wrong that President Donald Trump was elected to his first term. Biden confuses the year that Trump is elected, 2016, with the year that he enters office and Biden leaves the vice presidency, 2017. Biden is repeatedly prompted to clarify when he leaves office and Trump enters the White House,” the report said.
The audio was released by Alex Thompson of Axios on X.
“The audio shows what the transcript lacks — Biden’s dry-whisper voice and the long silences as he struggles to speak and remember details. Those often were supplied by his attorneys, who acted as caretakers of his memory. There is also a clock in the background as a metronome,” he said in one post.
“Though amiable, the interview became somewhat tense when Biden attorney Bob Bauer chastised prosecutor Krickbaum in this exchange over why Biden had kept a memo about Afghanistan. “Your answer is that you don’t know,” Bauer instructed the president. Listen here,” the reporter said.
“Throughout his interview, Biden sounded more like a nostalgic, grandfatherly storyteller than a potential defendant who could be accused of hoarding secret papers. He waxed on about several topics including shooting a bow and arrow in Mongolia,” he said.
Democrats excoriated Hur for what he said when he decided not to charge Biden with crimes related to his mishandling of classified documents, but it appears he was correct.
“Mr. Biden’s memory was significantly limited, both during his recorded interviews with the ghostwriter in 2017, and in his interview with our office in 2023,” he said.
“We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” he said.
