The Justice Department has debunked key talking points used by President Joe Biden’s defenders to attack Special Counsel Robert Hur’s damning report.
Mr. Biden, his allies, and the White House have strongly objected to the descriptions of the president’s memory in Mr. Hsu’s report.Specifically, concluded that Biden said he was an “elderly man with a bad memory” and couldn’t remember when his son Beau died or when he served as vice president.
Their explanation is President’s defenders claimis not only unfair and unjust, but also violates Department of Justice standards.
But in the eyes of the Department of Justice, that’s not true.
In fact, Biden’s lawyers raised just such a complaint just last week. letter, Obtained by The New York TimesBiden’s lawyers indicate that claimed It said Xu’s description of the president was “blatantly, clearly and blatantly in violation of department policy and practice.”

He maintained that the comments in the report were “well within the department’s publication standards.”
Mr. Weinsheimer further explained: why Mr. Hsu needed to include details about Mr. Biden’s memory. That is central to Mr. Xu’s decision not to file criminal charges.
“The identified language was not provided for the purpose of criticizing or disparaging the president, but rather to explain Special Counsel Huh’s conclusions regarding the president’s state of mind in the possession and retention of classified information,” he said. “Because it was provided, it is not unfair or unfairly prejudicial.” Said Biden’s lawyer.
“The report also addresses whether the president, as a private citizen, mishandled classified information in violation of criminal law,” Weinsheimer said. “This is near the pinnacle of public interest. The report and its publication, including the language identified, is consistent with department policy and practice.”
The dispute over Mr. Xu’s report and the transcripts and audio of his interview with Mr. Biden is intensifying.
White House, According to NBC NewsHow will he weave a record to refute the narrative that most Americans believe that Biden is too old for the presidency and that his mental acuity is diminished?
