Deep dives
Biden pushes back against characterizations of his memory
During a press conference, President Biden forcefully rebutted the characterizations of his memory from the special counsel's report. He expressed anger at the suggestion that he forgot the date of his son's death and asserted that he is a well-meaning and capable president. Biden emphasized that the report found no criminal charges warranted and highlighted innocent explanations for the handling of documents. While the press conference had moments of strong rebuttal, some responses were chippy and defensive, which may not resonate with all audiences.
