Exclusive: Prosecutor's audio shows Biden's memory lapses
16 May 2025 ~~ By Mark Caputo & Alec Thompson
Amid long, uncomfortable pauses, Joe Biden struggled to recall when his son died, when he left office as vice president, what year Donald Trump was elected or why he had classified documents he shouldn't have had, according to audio Axios obtained of his October 2023 interviews with special counsel Robert Hur.
Why it matters: The newly released recordings of Biden having trouble recalling such details — while occasionally slurring words and muttering — shed light on why his White House refused to release the recordings last year, as questions mounted about his mental acuity.

The big picture: The audio surfaces as Democrats and the national media are grappling with the legacy of Biden's White House and campaign hiding his decline as he ran for another four-year term at age 81.
- Democratic leaders have struggled this week to respond to reports about a new book on that topic — "Original Sin," by Axios' Alex Thompson and CNN's Jake Tapper — that will be released Tuesday.
- The audio — from two three-hour sessions on Oct. 8 and 9, 2023 — adds voice and dimension to the transcripts of the interviews that the Justice Department made available in the weeks after Hur's report was released Feb. 8, 2024.
- Biden's White House refused to release the recordings last year, arguing they were protected "law enforcement materials" and that Republicans only wanted "to chop them up, distort them, and use them for partisan political purposes."

Biden's defenders included then-Vice President Harris, who blasted Hur's report and called his comments about Biden's age "gratuitous, inaccurate and inappropriate."
- "The way that the president's demeanor in that report was characterized could not be more wrong on the facts and clearly politically motivated —gratuitous," Harris said then. ".... We should expect that there would be a higher level of integrity than what we saw."
- Bauer, Siskel, and Hur did not respond to requests for comment.
Commentary:
Biden was a figure head and nothing else for four years. All of the decisions from the executive branch were made by a "Star Chamber" within the Democrat hierarchy of unelected and people who surrounded him. This resulted in $Trillions of dollars being wasted, millions of people being killed and the world order being disrupted in ways that have damaged the interests of the United States.
This is the man that American people was believed to be in charge of the "Nuclear Football"?
America now wants to know who was really running this country for the last four years. Certainly it was not this doddering old man in extreme cognitive decline that spent more than half his presidency in calling "Lids" and confinement in his Delaware mansion or beach house.
Democrats and the Quisling Media have a lot to answer for in this massive cover-up of the presidency. It makes the presidency of Woodrow Wilson look like a cake wald in comparison. At least he was capable until he suffered the stroke after he was legally elected, while Biden's election was fraudulent from the get go.
