President Biden attacked Special Counsel Robert Hur for bringing up his son’s death, but it was Biden who first brought up the death of Beau in an interview, Fox News can confirm.
Biden brought up Beau’s death, not Hur, during his October interview, according to two well-placed sources familiar with the probe.
The revelations came after Biden lashed out last Thursday at Hur, who investigated his handling of classified documents, after the prosecutor in his final report noted that the president struggled to remember details such as when his son died.
While Hur’s report absolved Biden of criminal wrongdoing relating to his handling of classified documents, it characterized the president as an ‘elderly man with a poor memory.’
The report, released last Thursday, described the president’s memory as ‘hazy,’ ‘fuzzy,’ ‘faulty,’ ‘poor,’ and suggested Biden did not remember when his son Beau Biden died.
‘How in the h— dare he raise that,’ Biden said in a press conference on Thursday. ‘Frankly, when I was asked the question I thought to myself it wasn’t any of their d— business.’
‘We conclude that no criminal charges are warranted in this matter,’ the report, released Thursday, states. ‘We would reach the same conclusion even if the Department of Justice policy did not foreclose criminal charges against a sitting president.’
The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
