Former President Donald J. Trump, who faces a criminal case accusing him of illegally retaining classified documents, blasted on Friday a special counsel’s decision not to charge President Biden for his handling of classified material, accusing prosecutors of an unfair double standard.
In January 2023, Attorney General Merrick B. Garland appointed a special counsel to investigate President Biden’s handling of classified documents to avoid any perception that he was protecting his boss entering an election year.
Special Counsel Robert Hur released a report Thursday detailing President Biden's mishandling of classified documents but added there would be no charges, citing concerns over the president's mental fitness. Hur's scathing report dealt a major blow to Biden; however, former Whitewater Deputy Independent Counsel Sol Wisenberg argued on "Fox & Friends" on Friday that the more "significant" development from Thursday was the president "lied" about key details that Hur found.
Vice President Kamala Harris pushed back forcefully on Friday against a special counsel report that questioned President Biden’s memory, describing it as “politically motivated.”
Out of every detail listed in the 383-page special counsel report, it was the suggestion that President Biden had trouble remembering when his elder son, Beau, died that seemed to anger the president the most.
When President Biden appeared at a last-minute news conference on Thursday night, he hoped to assure the country of his mental acuity hours after a special counsel’s report had devastatingly referred to him as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
Just hours after a special counsel examining his handling of sensitive information put a spotlight on his age and memory, President Biden is set to speak.
