President Biden has angrily criticised a special counsel report on classified documents which questioned his memory and ability to recall dates and events.

The US leader held a surprise news briefing at the White House, telling reporters: “My memory is fine.”

Special Counsel Robert Hur found that Mr Biden had mishandled classified documents but would not be charged.

The report made several scathing remarks, including suggesting his memory had “significant limitations”.

    I see it as the Special Counsel trying to find a cowardly way of keeping Trump from turning the mob against him. The dude knows he’s got no case to bring, but if just shows up and says “no charges”, then he’s immediately going to be branded as a traitor to the MAGA cause, and likely start receiving death threats. He has to find a way to sling some shit at Biden to keep Trump from kicking him out of the cult.
