US EditionAudio released of Biden interview with special counsel who described him as an ‘elderly man with a poor memory’
- In October 2023, President Joe Biden participated in over five hours of interviews in Washington, D.C., with Special Counsel Robert Hur about classified documents found at his home and office.
- These interviews took place amid ongoing public and political concern about Biden's age and cognitive health, a topic that intensified following reports and internal party discussions during the 2024 election cycle.

- In his final report, Hur characterized Biden as an older individual struggling with memory issues, while a poll conducted in August 2023 found that 75% of Americans felt Biden was too advanced in age to serve a second presidential term.
- This controversy has contributed to divisions within the Democratic Party and shaped public discourse about Biden’s political future and the party's preparations for upcoming elections.
