In an interview with the then President Joe Biden with former special adviser Robert Hur, during the closed probe, when the biden was handled by classified documents, Axios said Friday.
Interviews have become one of the most prominent and politically controversial parts of the Hur investigation, which states that there was not enough evidence of biden accusing criminal records after his vice president. In the final report, Hur, at that time, was named a biden, “sympathetic, benevolent, elderly man with poor memory.”
Although the biden interviews with Hur became public last year, these passages are the first audio recording of Surface interviews.
The Officer of the Department of Justice confirmed the authenticity of the bands CNN.
Biden spokeswoman Kelly Scully CNN said: “The Biden Administration has released transcripts more than a year ago. The sound does nothing but confirms what is already public.”
The sound arises when questions about the physical and mental capabilities of Biden returned to the horizon. Future Book-“Original Sin: President Biden’s downturn, his secrecy and disastrous choice to run again” CNN Jake Tapper and Axios Alex Thompson-Samiai describes the signs of the biden downturn.
2023 In the autumn, Biden sat in an interview with Hur for five hours in two days as part of a special adviser to handle his credited material.
In Vienna, almost four and a half minutes, published by Axios, was asked where he kept the documents he “actively worked”, leaving the Vice President in 2017. Biden made a long pause and said, “I don’t know.” Died and he needed confirmation from the room.
“For a month, Beau died,” Biden asked before doing a pause. “Oh God, May 30 …”
Two people graduated from the then president’s sentence: “2015”
“Is that 2015 he died?” Biden asked.
In the second Axios clip, Biden, when asked if he knew he was guarding the Memorandum associated with Afghanistan, first said: “I don’t know that I knew. But when I was pressing, Biden said,” I think I wanted to hang it only for offspring. “
Soon, one person from the biden team intervened and tried to find out the president’s response.
“I would definitely like to avoid clean records, access to speculative areas,” the person said, adding: “His reminder, as I understand, is that he does not remember specifically intending to maintain this memorandum after he left the vice president.”
In February last year, Hur refused to accuse Biden, but in the final report, the former president “deliberately retained and revealed classified material.” Politically harmful part of Huro’s findings was described as a “benevolent, elderly man with poor memory” who would probably win for jurors if he had a criminal persecution.
Biden and his allies fiercely disputed Huro’s description as inaccurate and dishonest, including pushing back into a special advisor he does not remember when his eldest son, Beau, died in his report.
Home Republicans were looking for records related to interviews, including transcripts and audio recordings, conducting a long -term impeachment investigation into a biden that eventually erupted.
The Department of Justice submitted a copy of the conversation to Congress, but Biden claimed that the executive authorities were privileged on audio recordings. The Republicans voted in favor of holding the then General Merrick Merrick Garland, that contempt refusing to pass records, but the Department of Justice refused to seek contempt.
On Friday, President Donald Trump told reporters at the Attorney General Pam Bondi and his team will determine whether the audio should be released.
“It has Pam [Bondi] and the group. I really didn’t look, he said before leaving Abu Dhabi. – Everyone understands his condition. I know 89, 90, 92, 93 years old and literally perfect. But Joe was not one of them, and they were hiding a lot. They were really playing games. And, you know, you can’t do it. Our country risks. ‘
The highest Democrats, including several possible 2028 applicants, faced questions about the new revelations of the future book by Tapper and Thompson, including whether they were aware of the decline of the former president. The new phase of the inspection comes when the party wants to go through in 2024. Elections and focus on the short resistance of the short resistance.
The biden team retreated to the book claims. “We continue to wait for everything that shows where Joe Biden had to make a president’s decision or where he was threatened with national security or where he could not do his job.
In an interview with ABC last week, the image, Biden, who is now 82 years old, defended his time and withdrew to claims that he had suffered a major cognitive decline in his duties.
“They’re wrong,” Biden said last week. “There’s nothing to keep.”
