US President Joe Biden has angrily criticised an investigation that found he mishandled top secret files and said he struggled to recall key life events.
In a surprise news briefing on Thursday evening, Mr Biden insisted: “My memory is fine.”
He slammed a claim that he could not recollect when his son died, saying: “How the hell dare he raise that?”
The inquiry found Mr Biden “wilfully retained and disclosed” classified files, but decided not to charge him.
I think Biden was wrong to take the bait on this. The entire investigation was a partisan fishing expedition, of course calling it such would draw an equivalence to Trump’s own legal issues from the Republicans, which is probably what they want. It’s better to keep silent and give these hacks nothing to work with.
