Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) responded to Special Counsel Robert Hur’s statement in an interview with ABC News on Thursday. report President Joe Biden said, “I don’t remember when my son Beau died, even within a few years,” adding, “Obviously, the president knows when his son died. …If he… , I think it’s understandable for all of us to have moments where our minds are racing from the war in the Middle East to questions we have and we can’t remember.”
Mr. Goldman said:[T]The rest was a highly biased, partisan editorial by a Republican-appointed prosecutor. What he said about his memories had no bearing on his decision to prosecute. He was writing an editorial about why presidents wrote memoirs. Throughout, he ignores the obvious facts of his innocence. And the reality is that even though the president had no authority to possess classified material, there is no evidence that he knew he had it…[s]Yeah, it’s 379 pages, but it took about 10 pages to really come to a conclusion. The extraneous content that he says about his own memories – and I think the president has countered that very well – is not only unnecessary, it’s unnecessary and personal. Obviously, the president knows when his son died. It was an incredibly traumatic moment for him. We can all understand if there was a moment when his mind was racing from the war in the Middle East to the questions he was having and he couldn’t remember it. I think. ”
