Newly released audio from Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview with then-President Biden, first published by Axios, reveals memory lapses that contradict earlier White House denials.
In the recording, Biden struggles to recall the year his son Beau died of brain cancer, requiring prompts from his lawyers present during the session.
Despite the transcript’s release, Biden aides, including then-White House spokesman Ian Sams, maintained that the president did not forget the year of Beau’s death.
The audio intensifies debates among Democrats and observers about whether there was a deliberate effort to conceal Biden’s declining mental sharpness and if this contributed to the party’s 2024 election loss.

The interview, conducted over two days in October 2023, spanned more than five hours as part of Hur’s probe into Biden’s retention of classified documents from his vice presidency. In his final report, Hur described Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory,” citing these interviews as evidence.
