Leaked audio of Hur interview shines light on Biden mental fitness: What to know
Former President Biden has found his way back into the spotlight more than 100 days after President Trump reclaimed the White House.
Audio, obtained by Axios, from Biden's October 2023 interview with special counsel Robert Hur about classified documents found in his private home from his time as vice president was published by the outlet on Saturday. A shorter clip was released late Friday.
The five-hour interview comes from Hur's first day of questioning and appears to show Biden struggling.
While the Department of Justice released a transcript of the conversation last year, the Biden administration had pushed back on releasing the tapes, citing concerns over potential tampering or "deepfakes."
Hur ultimately ruled that Biden "willfully" kept the documents but suggested a jury would find he is "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." No charges were filed.
