Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!A transcript of special counsel Robert Hur’s two-day interview was made public last year, but the Biden White House refused to release the audio recording. Hur ultimately declined to bring charges against Biden in the classified documents case and wrote that the president at the time was a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
Trump recently told reporters that it would be left to the Justice Department and Attorney General Pam Bondi to decide whether the two-year-old tapes of the interview would be released publicly.
The upcoming book “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” co-written by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’s Alex Thompson, has renewed questions about Biden’s decline near the end of his time in office and as he launched a campaign for a second term.
Trump earlier on Friday addressed the audio, saying, “Look, everybody understands the condition of him [Biden.]”
He continued, “I know people that are 89, 90, 92, 93 years old and are literally perfect. But Joe was not one of them, and they did a lot of hiding. They were, they were really playing games. And, you know, you can’t do that. Our country’s at stake.”
