Biden interview audio reveals who brought up Beau's death - and it wasn't Hur

Former President Joe Biden lashed out against special counsel Robert Hur over a report in which he described the longtime lawmaker as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."

In February 2024, Biden and several high-profile Democrats - as well as media personalities - attacked Hur. During a press conference on Hur's report, Biden said, "There's some attention paid to some language in the report about my recollection of events. There's even a reference that I don't remember when my son died. How in the hell dare he raise that?"

Since his report was released, Hur has seen two key moments of vindication aside from Friday's report. The first came when the transcript of his interview was released in March 2024. At the time, the White House refused to release the audio, citing fears of AI deepfakes. Hur appeared to receive further vindication when Biden had his disastrous debate against then-candidate Trump in June 2024. Less than a month after the debate, Biden withdrew from the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Harris.
