Joe Biden

Thanks to comments in Special Counsel Robert Hur's report that highlighted President Joe Biden's age and alleged memory issues, partisan political bickering has erupted comparing Biden's cognitive health with Donald Trump's. Biden fueled the conversation in his recent State of the Union address, dismissing concerns over his age and refocusing the issue back on Trump.

As columnist Chauncey DeVega points out, Biden "was clearly implying that it is actually Donald Trump, and not him" who has demonstrated serious issues with his brain health.

Rep. Madeline Dean (D-PA) on Tuesday got special counsel Robert Hur to make a damning case against former President Donald Trump simply by having him read from his own report.

Although Hur's report leveled criticisms against President Joe Biden over his handling of classified documents and also documented instances in which the president had a faulty memory of important events, it nonetheless concluded that criminal charges against Biden weren't warranted given his full cooperation with the investigation, among other factors.

The culture within President Joe Biden's advance team has grown so negative that the White House counsel's office has opened an investigation.

The White House and campaign aides who are responsible for traveling ahead of the president to coordinate, design and stage his speeches and events have serious concerns about the office's direction, according to interviews with 18 sources who spoke to Politico about the situation.

Former Special Counsel Robert Hur appeared to grow angry and defensive during his sworn congressional testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday when confronted by Democratic U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson over his motivations and aspirations in providing what some critics have characterized as lies about President Joe Biden.

Associated Press reporter Farnoush Amiri wrote Hur was "angry" and "on the defensive when Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Georgia, says the special counsel used his 'report to trash and smear Biden,' to fit into a Republican narrative."

Brandon Herrera — a YouTube content creator running in a Republican primary runoff in Texas — may have buried his chances to get elected after a clip surfaced of him mocking former President Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron.

The Daily Beast reported that both Trumpworld and the MAGA movement have soured on Herrera after viewing the clip, in which Herrera is heard making fun of Barron Trump.

Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) sent out a self-pitying fundraising plea after her State of the Union rebuttal made her a national laughingstock.

The Alabama Republican delivered a response last week to President Joe Biden that mystified and alarmed viewers in both parties with her hushed tones, dark themes and inaccurate claims. Her speech was lampooned by actress Scarlett Johansson just two evenings later in the cold open to "Saturday Night Live."

Although House Republicans had hoped to use public testimony featuring special counsel Robert Hur as a means to highlight President Joe Biden's alleged memory deficiencies, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) had other ideas.

Specifically, Nadler turned the tables and used it to shine a light on evidence of alleged obstruction of justice by former President Donald Trump.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) blasted House Republicans as "amateur memory specialists" after they used special counsel Robert Hur's report to smear President Joe Biden.

During a hearing about Hur's investigation of classified records retained by Biden, Raskin pointed out that the special counsel had not changed his mind about the decision not to charge the president.

President Joe Biden's reelection campaign launched a digital ad late Monday spotlighting presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump's suggestion that he would be open to cutting Social Security and Medicare if he wins another White House term—comments his campaign scrambled to walk back.

The 20-second spot highlights Trump's televised interview with CNBC Monday morning, during which anchor Joe Kernen asked Trump how he would "handle" programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid if he's reelected in November.

Robert Hur, as of Monday night the former special counsel who investigated President Joe Biden's handling of classified documents, began testifying before Chairman Jim Jordan's House Judiciary Committee Tuesday morning to explain his report in which he claimed the president did not remember when his son, Beau Biden, died.

Hur also characterized Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory."

In Tuesday's House Judiciary Committee hearing with special counsel Robert Hur, who investigated classified documents found in President Joe Biden's personal belongings, ranking member Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) tore into Republicans for misrepresenting the conclusions of the report — and went after former President Donald Trump's own issues with top secret materials, which have landed him in considerably more legal trouble.

"House Republicans may be desperate to convince America that white, conservative men are on the losing end of a two-tiered justice system, a theory that appeals to the MAGA crowd that has no basis in reality," said Nadler, addressing Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH).

Special counsel Robert Hur, who investigated President Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents and angered Democrats when he included claims about Biden's age and poor memory in his report, is testifying before the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee Tuesday.

In his prepared remarks, Hur is expected to say his "report reflects my best effort to explain why I declined to recommend charging President Biden for his mishandling of classified records."
