Robert Hur, who had been appointed to investigate whether Biden mishandled classified documents, wrote that the president couldn’t recall in an interview with prosecutors the date when his adult son, Beau, died of cancer.
And Biden recalled the specific date that Beau died, although he briefly wondered aloud about the year as the conversation toggled between various events.
“Oh, God, May 30th.”A White House lawyer interjected by saying, “2015.”“Was it 2015 he had died?” Biden asked.
Beau died while Biden was serving as vice president, and his deep sorrow helped deter him from running for president in 2016, when Trump ultimately defeated Hillary Clinton.
Biden mentioned the death during an interview that Hur conducted on Oct. 8.
