to me, the most devastating part by DBCooper

Later in the report, the special counsel said that the president's memory was "worse" during their interview with him, compared to his memory in recorded conversations from 2017.

He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended ('if it was 2013 — when did I stop being Vice President?'), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began ('in 2009, am I still Vice President?')," the report said.

Biden also had difficulty remembering the timing of his son Beau's death, as well as a debate about Afghanistan.

"He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died," the report said.

In a Monday letter to Hur and his deputy special counsel, Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president, and Bob Bauer, Biden's personal counsel, refuted how the report characterized the president's memory.


"We do not believe that the report’s treatment of President Biden’s memory is accurate or appropriate," Sauber and Bauer wrote in the letter, which was also released on Thursday. "The report uses highly prejudicial language to describe a commonplace occurrence among witnesses: a lack of recall of years-old events."
