How Joe Biden Could Address the Age Issue

The New Yorker

In a report sure to find its place in the annals of politically damaging exonerations, Robert Hur, the special counsel appointed to investigate Joe Biden's handling of classified documents, cleared the President of wrongdoing, and explicitly distinguished his behavior from Donald Trump's more egregious misconduct in a similar case. But Hur, a Republican, also noted that he didn't recommend charges in part because Biden would likely come across to a jury as a "well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." Among his claims was that Biden couldn't recall when he'd been Vice-President, or when his son Beau had died, "even within several years." Biden's supporters saw the language as a gratuitous partisan attack, a speculative salvo far outside the prosecutor's purview; his lawyers said it was "highly prejudicial." Clearly sensing the precarity of the moment, the White House called a press conference at which Biden forcefully disputed Hur's characterization.


RFK Jr: Jill Biden should suggest Joe step aside if his cognitive abilities are diminished

FOX News

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. tells'Jesse Watters Primetime' it may be Biden's time to retire. Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., was asked whether he believes President Biden should step aside at the end of his first term after a special counsel's report found him to be an "elderly man with poor memory." Kennedy told Fox News if he were in Biden's position, he would hope someone in his own family would politely suggest he step away from the political limelight if his mental acuity is as diminished as special counsel Robert Hur suggested. "I think anybody can make up their mind about [Biden's situation] as well as I can. I hope that if he has the kind of cognitive challenges that the special counsel indicated he has, and if I were in that position, a member of my family or staff would approach me and assist me in gently stepping down," Kennedy said on "Jesse Watters Primetime."

President Trump also took to Twitter today as he tweeted, "this is the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history!" and "with all of the illegal acts that took place in the Clinton campaign & Obama Administration, there was never a special counsel!" The tweets were in response to Wednesday's news that the Department of Justice appointment former FBI Director Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate Russian interference in the U.S. presidential election.
