President Biden faced a major setback after the DOJ appointed a special counsel to investigate him. Robert Hur interviewed Biden several times over classified documents he illegally kept at his home and office.
But the special counsel declined pressing charges, due to Biden’s shockingly poor memory.
Hur revealed that Biden performed so poorly during interviews, he would be unable to stand trial. This was a huge blow to Biden’s credibility. Congress requested to see the recordings of these infamous recordings. Now, Biden is doing something Democrats blasted Trump for trying to do.
From Breitbart:
President Joe Biden asserted executive privilege on Thursday over his interview with special counsel Robert Hur to prevent Congress from obtaining his audio recordings.During the president’s interview with Hur, Biden, 81, experienced mental lapses and “poor memory” at least seven times, according to a transcript obtained by Breitbart News…
“Demanding such sensitive and constitutionally-protected law enforcement materials from the Executive Branch because you want to manipulate them for potential political gain is inappropriate.”
The Biden-run DOJ is refusing to hand over recordings of Biden’s interviews with Special Counsel Hur. President Biden is using “executive privilege” as an excuse to deny Congress from hearing these recordings.
In the past, Democrats have tried to slander Trump over the use of executive privilege. Yet Biden is using this excuse, claiming Republicans in Congress want to use these materials so they can “manipulate them for potential political gain.”
Americans will certainly find this shockingly hypocritical, given what Democrats have been doing to Trump for years. Democrats in Congress have seemingly manipulated interviews, recordings, transcripts, and testimony for political gain against Trump again and again.
Yet Biden is now coming off as high and mighty, condemning Congress for what appears to be a legitimate request. Americans will surely accuse Biden of trying to protect his image—since these recordings will probably reveal just how bad his cognitive decline has become.
Hur reported that Biden didn’t remember when he was vice president, when his son died, and other important dates and details. This news has been significantly damaging to his reelection bid, as Democrats have long ignored evidence of Biden’s inability to lead.
Key Takeaway:
- Biden is using “executive privilege” to prevent Congress from hearing records of Special Counsel Hur’s interviews.
- Hur revealed that Biden’s memory was so bad, he could not recall when he served as vice president.
- Biden’s White House accused Republicans of wanting to “manipulate” the material for “political gain.”
