Exclusive: Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney tells the Cabinet to “consider” using the 25th Amendment to remove President Biden from office following Special Counsel Robert Hur’s “alarming” report I’m asking you to.
Mr. Xu did not recommend criminal charges against the president for mishandling classified documents. These records include classified documents related to Afghanistan’s military and foreign policy, including records related to national security and foreign policy, which are classified as “confidential sources and methods.” Hoare said he was involved in the
Biden says memory is ‘okay’, calls president ‘the most qualified person in this country’
But Hoar described Biden as “a sympathetic, well-meaning older man with a poor memory.” In his more than 300-page report, Ho said he “would have difficulty persuading a jury to convict” him of a serious felony that “requires a deliberate state of mind.” “I think he will follow his ideas very well,” he said. in her 80’s. ”
Fox News Digital obtained a letter sent by R.N.Y. Tenney to Attorney General Garland on Thursday night, sharing his “grave concerns” in response to the report.
“After concluding that President Biden intentionally and intentionally repeatedly deleted, mishandled, and disclosed classified documents over several decades, we still recommended no charges,” Tenney wrote. “The special counsel’s reasoning was astonishing.”

Tenney added: “We list numerous instances in which President Biden has significantly diminished mental capacity and conclude that a jury is likely to view President Biden as an unsympathetic and forgetful old man.”
“It goes without saying that selective prosecution is morally, ethically and legally prohibited,” Tenney said.
Biden says he doesn’t remember his son Beau’s death when he was vice president during interviews with special counsel.
“We do not prosecute or refuse to prosecute people based on their character or our anticipated perceptions of them,” Tenney wrote. “If the special prosecutor determines that the evidence provides a reasonable basis for charges, he must file charges.”
Tenney said the Justice Department said, “Former President Trump cannot be prosecuted ethically due to his mental acuity and forceful personality, but we are refusing to file charges against President Biden because of his cognitive decline.” “There is,” he said.
Tenney said Biden “needs to be indicted unless he is mentally competent to stand trial.”
“Frankly, the special counsel’s report makes a reasonable case that he is not,” Tenney said.
“It’s extremely worrying that he can’t remember when and what position he held. He can’t remember when his child died, even within a few years. That is perhaps a more frightening reflection of his mental disorder.”

Tenney went on to say that Biden “appears to lack the ability to carry out his responsibilities as president.”
“Therefore, it is your duty to consider the procedure for removing a president from office under the 25th Amendment,” Tenney wrote. “President Biden needs to be indicted or he needs to be removed from office.”
She added: “There is no middle ground.”

The 25th Amendment to the Constitution can be invoked by the Cabinet if the president becomes disabled to the extent that he is unable to carry out his duties.
But Biden defended his re-election campaign Thursday night, telling the nation that his memory was “okay” and that he was “the best person in this country to be president.”
“I mean well, I’m old, I know what I’m doing,” Biden said. “I became president. I got this country back on its feet. I don’t need his recommendation.”
Biden added: “My memory is fine.”
In his speech, Biden also hit back at Special Counsel Robert Hur, who suggested he did not remember when his son Beau died.

“How can he bring it up?” Biden said. “Frankly, when I was asked the question, I was like, what the hell is this all about?”
“Let me tell you something…I swear, every day since the day he died…I wear the rosary that he received from Our Lady—” Biden paused, forgetting where the rosary came from. It seemed like it was gone.
Mr. Biden became visibly emotional and declared, “I don’t need anyone. I don’t need anyone to remind me when he’s gone and when he’s gone.”
But a little later, Biden started talking about the conflict in the Middle East. Biden referred to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi as the “President of Mexico.”

But the president fielded a barrage of questions from the White House press corps, some of whom shouted questions about whether he was qualified to run for re-election.
“I’m the best person in this country to be president of the United States,” Biden said, adding, “I have to finish the job I started.”
Meanwhile, Mr. Xu said in his report that Mr. Biden could not recall important details during his meetings with the special counsel team, including his time as vice president.

“In interviews with our office, Mr. Biden’s memory was even worse,” the report said. “He doesn’t remember when he was vice president, and he forgets the first day of the interview at the end of his term (“If it was 2013, when did you stop being vice president?”) and the interview I forgot about it on the second day. when his term began (“2009, Will I Still be Vice President?”).

“He did not remember when his son Beau died, even years later,” the report continued. “And his memory was hazy when describing the Afghanistan controversy, which was once so important to him, especially with General Carl Eikenberry, even though General Eikenberry was actually an ally. “I mistakenly said that there was a ‘huge difference’ between my views and his,” Biden quoted the approving words in his Thanksgiving memo to President Obama. ”
“If the government had to prove that Biden knew he was in possession of classified Afghan documents after becoming vice president and knowingly chose to preserve those documents in violation of the law, then I “We expect his lawyers to emphasize at trial that his recollection has these limitations,” the report said.

As for Biden’s memory, on Thursday, ahead of the report’s release, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the president will share his thoughts with German Chancellor Helmut Kohl (who actually died four years ago) in 2021. Asked about the gaffe in which he said they had met, he defended Biden. Earlier, she claimed that gaffes “happen to everyone and are common.”
The gaffe was similar to one Biden claimed Sunday at the same G7 meeting that he spoke to French President François Mitterrand, who died in 1996.
