Joe Biden
Struggles with Memory: A Personal Reflection
Revelations from Investigative Findings
Published
Recent audio excerpts from former President Joe Biden‘s conversation, part of a wider special counsel review, have emerged, bringing his memory challenges into sharper focus.
A portion of Biden’s discussion with former special counsel Robert Hur was published by Axios. In this inquiry, which assessed Biden’s handling of classified documents, Hur characterized him as “a well-meaning elderly man grappling with memory difficulties.”
During the questioning, Biden exhibited challenges in recalling critical dates, particularly the year when his son Beau passed away.
In the released audio, Biden also struggled with recalling the timeline of his exit from the vice presidency and the election year of Donald Trump. This interview took place in October 2023, about three years after his inauguration.
While the transcript had been previously accessible, the release of the audio provides a more nuanced understanding of Biden’s mindset at this pivotal moment.

At a press conference in February 2024, Biden passionately addressed his previously made comments about memory issues, reacting strongly to Hur’s remarks concerning his “inaccurate memory.”
Initially, Biden had attempted to block the release of this audio during his presidency; however, it has now been made available for public scrutiny.
