Biden had repeated mental lapses during special counsel interview: transcript

The interview took place on Oct. 8 and 9, as Biden was responding to the attack on Israel. The White House has argued that Hur's report was gratuitous and motivated by partisanship given that Trump nominated him to be a U.S. attorney. Biden's team has also noted that he had excellent recall in several other parts of the interview, and argued that the missteps were exaggerated and cherry-picked.

This is the polar opposite of the same story as reported by Salon:

Given the information from Salon, yours is being reported as "misinformation".

It's definitely an alternative interpretation of events.

As both articles with opposing headlines are visible within inches of each other on the main page, my inclination is to leave it alone and let people make up their own minds with up and down votes (and boy are they!)

In his five-hour interview with special counsel Robert Hur, President Biden repeatedly mixed up dates, countries and the timeline of significant events, including the years his son Beau died and Donald Trump was elected, according to a transcript of the interview reviewed by Axios.

Why it matters: The transcript supports Hur's account that Biden had multiple mental lapses, despite recent pushback from the president and the White House.
