Democrats on Friday defended President Joe Biden and rebuked the special counsel who investigated Biden's handling of classified documents as a Republican prosecutor with a political agenda.
Democrats on Friday defended President Joe Biden and rebuked the special counsel who investigated Biden's handling of classified documents as a Republican prosecutor with a political agenda.
In his report, Robert Hur declined to file charges against Biden for the way he stored classified documents at his home and personal office after he was vice president. But Hur's report also said Biden presented himself in interviews with investigators "as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory" and noted several instances in which the president had trouble recalling specific dates.
Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday told reporters at a gun violence prevention event in Washington that the report was "inaccurate and inappropriate."
"The way that the President’s demeanor in that report was characterized could not be more wrong on the facts," she said, adding, “And clearly politically motivated, gratuitous.”
"That’s 350 pages to just say that Joe Biden isn’t going to be indicted here, too. It was just a smear and cheap shots and just taking things out of context, or even just inventing," Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., told reporters on a Biden-Harris campaign call about gun violence Friday.
