Harris calls special counsel's comments on Biden's memory 'gratuitous' and 'politically motivated'
Vice President Kamala Harris is slamming the special counsel's report into President Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents that raised questions about his memory, calling it “politically motivated” and “gratuitous.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday slammed the report by a Justice Department special counsel into Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents that raised questions about the president's memory, calling it “politically motivated” and “gratuitous.”
The report described the 81-year-old Democrat’s memory as “hazy,” “fuzzy,” “faulty,” “poor” and having “significant limitations.” It noted that Biden could not recall defining milestones in his own life such as when his son Beau died or when he served as vice president.
Taking a question from a reporter at the conclusion of a gun violence prevention event at the White House, Harris said that as a former prosecutor, she considered Hur's comments "gratuitous, inaccurate, and inappropriate.”
