In an interview in 2023, Robert Hur, the Department of Justice Special Counsel, described former President Joe Biden as an "old man with poor memory" and obtained "old man with poor memory" on Friday, indicating Biden's voice and difficult dates to remember.

CBS News has confirmed the transcript of the interview released by Biden White House in 2024.

In a four-minute clip, Biden was investigated by Hur's team (who is investigating Biden's handling of confidential records) to learn that he kept his own documents shortly after leaving the office. Biden's reaction was marked by a long pause, and sometimes his voice looked hoarse. His speech stopped particularly when he described the death of his son Bo.

In the audio obtained by news outlet Axios, Biden can also be heard struggling to remember the year when Beau died or the year when President Trump was first elected. His staff can be heard correcting him or reminding him to date.

written Record of five-hour interview Released last year, but some audio was released on Friday Provide context about Biden's behavior and memory issues at certain times in the session.

In response to the audio, Biden spokesman Kelly Scully told CBS News in a statement: "The transcript was released by the Biden administration more than a year ago. The audio does nothing but confirms what has been published."

Biden's verbal delivery is a key part of the Hur report. Special Consultant Written in February 2024 Biden sounds like "sympathy, kindness, seniors, poor memory". Hur said it was a point jurors could share, which made it difficult to have the willingness to hold sensitive documents at their home and office. Hur's report points to the "major limitations" of Biden's memory, including his difficulty remembering his son's death.

HUR advised not to commit crimes against Biden, although he did conclude that Biden "deliberately" retained government documents.

At the time, Biden and his allies responded angryly to Hur's report - especially "old man with poor memory", and comments on Beau Biden's death.

"There's even a reference that I don't remember my son's death. Did he dare raise it in hell? Frankly, when I was asked about this question, I told myself that it wasn't their damn business," Beden said last year. "I don't need anyone to tell me when he died."

Biden's personal attorney Bob Bauer Said report A "dashed work" filled with "completely inappropriate and derogatory comments." Biden's White House Lawyer's Office ask Hur's team revised the report, saying his memory of Biden was "inciting".

The report was released on concerns that Biden, then 80, would last another semester for the age and adaptability of Biden, even though at the time, Democratic officials publicly supported Biden and How to hit. Meanwhile, Republicans used the report as evidence of Biden's faded cognitive ability and pushed the audio of the interview.

But a few months later, Biden’s tough June debate about Mr. Trump (who repeatedly worked to complete his sentence) rekindled concerns about age, causing Biden to withdraw from the presidential campaign under pressure from his party.

Biden’s decision during that period has sparked new scrutiny in recent weeks as books from his campaign hit the shelves. Some books describe Biden’s struggle as he grows older, exercises by his aides keep him on the game and a sudden turn from Biden to final nominee Kamala Harris in the weeks after the Trump-Biden debate.

Biden has Strongly deny His cognitive ability failed, telling "last week's point of view" and "nothing can be maintained."
