White House officials and prominent Democrats today attacked the special counsel’s report into President Biden’s handling of classified material by labeling it politically motivated.
The comments were part of an effort to discredit a document that characterized the president as elderly and forgetful.
Vice President Kamala Harris and multiple House Democrats depicted the report, which legally exonerated Biden, as more of a political attack than an unbiased legal document.
A spokesman for the White House Counsel’s Office suggested that the special counsel, Robert Hur, violated Justice Department policy.
The report cast Biden, 81, as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” with “diminished faculties in advancing age.” It placed his age — an uncomfortable subject looming over his re-election bid — back at the center of America’s political conversation.
