Joe Biden

Attempting to explain what MSNBC host Joe Scarborough called "gratuitous" attacks on President Joe Biden in special counsel Robert Hur's report on government documents found in Biden's garage, legal analyst Ken Dilanian accused the Donald Trump-appointed former U.S. attorney of trying to placate Republicans.

After the clearly furious Scarborough mocked Hur as a fake "neurologist" with a degree from the fraudulent Trump University, Dilanian explained that the attack on Biden would give Hur something to use in his defense for not bringing charges against the sitting president when he is interrogated by angry Republicans.

An angry, emotional US President Joe Biden defended his mental competence Thursday in a rare evening address to Americans to respond to biting comments in a report released hours earlier on his mishandling of classified documents.

Appearing on live television from the White House, Biden was furious over the report's claim that he was unable to remember even the date of his son Beau's death in 2015, as well as other key moments in his life.

U.S. senators cleared a first hurdle Thursday to a sweeping foreign aid package -- including a $60 billion lifeline for Ukraine -- although opposition from right-wing allies of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump means final passage remains far from guaranteed.

The procedural vote to at least consider the bill marked a stunning about-face by Senate Republicans.

Kicking off Friday morning's "Morning Joe," co-host Mika Brzezinski didn't even get a chance to finish describing the report from special counsel Robert Hur before Joe Scarborough cut her off and dropped the hammer on the Donald Trump-appointed former U.S. attorney.

With Brzezinski pointing to Hur suggesting that President Joe Biden is "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory" who would not hold up on the witness stand if he was prosecuted over government documents, a fuming Scarborough jumped in.

"A neurologist and a lawyer," the MSNBC sarcastically interjected to which Brzezinski replied, "Let me finish, but I agree."

"You kind of need to stop there," Scarborough continued by adding, "A neurologist from Trump University. I've got to stop right here, I know we want to go on and finish this report."

"So bizarre, so many people that immediately heard these random conclusions, irrelevant conclusions, politically charged, Trump-like ramblings," he added.

As the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors on Thursday held a meeting in Washington, D.C., frustrated USPS workers, customers, and union officials rallied outside to protest a new limit on public comment and the agency's austerity plan.

While the quarterly meetings have previously included an hour of in-person and virtual public testimony, the USPS board has shifted to only taking comments once annually, a move that outraged critics of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy—a GOP donor appointee of former President Donald Trump—and his 10-year "Delivering for America" plan.

The special prosecutor who spared Biden from a criminal case instead took aim at his age, mental fitness and fuzzy memory.

That went too far, according to former special counsel prosecutor Andrew Weissmann.

The View's Ana Navarro clashed with conservative Scott Jennings on Thursday on CNN after she suggested President Joe Biden gets harsher "scrutiny" than former President Trump.

Their discussion was sparked by Biden appearing in a press conference where he addressed Special Counsel Robert Hur's decision to not recommend criminal charges for mishandling classified documents, as well as his description of the 81-year-old Democrat's memory as “hazy”, “fuzzy”, “faulty”, “poor” and having “significant limitations”.
