A partial audio of disgraced former President Joe Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur has been released and it’s absolutely brutal with the geriatric Democrat forgetting key details, including when his son Beau died.
In another blow to Biden’s legacy that comes as excerpts of CNN anchor Jake Tapper’s new book about the cover-up of his obvious senility are making headlines, the Hur audio only further illustrates how the former president, his handlers and the media brazenly lied to the American people about his mental condition for years.
Keeping Joe Biden in office was criminal. Listen to this Robert Hur audio with Biden. Good lord. Remember Biden tried to blame Hur for bringing up Beau. It was clearly Biden himself who did. Biden has no idea what’s going on here. Again, this is criminal: pic.twitter.com/XGRG7q9EHH

The audio from the special counsel’s October 2023 interviews in his probe of Biden’s mishandling of classified documents was released by Axios on Friday, the same day that President Donald J. Trump told reporters that it was up to Attorney General Pam Bondi whether to make the tapes public and its already clear why Biden’s allies fought so hard to keep them under wraps.
When he was asked about where he kept papers that he was working on around 2017 and 2018, the former president said that his son Beau was either “deployed or is dying” at the time. Beau Biden succumbed to brain cancer in May 2015. During the interview, Biden asked himself, “When did Beau die?” with an attorney answering with the year of his passing.
In the audio, Biden also said that Trump was first elected in 2017 and had to be corrected that it was 2016.
“Why do I have 2017 here?” Biden asked, with a lawyer having to explain to him, “That’s when you left office.”
When Biden was asked about a classified document on Afghanistan that was discovered at his lake house, he wasn’t sure how it got there but then said, “I guess I wanted to hang on to it for posterity’s sake.”
“Am I making any sense to you?” Biden asked at one point during the interview, which was filled with lengthy pauses and the octogenarian career politician slurring his words and going off on rambling tangents.
Hur infuriated the White House when he declined to bring charges because the then-president was essentially too senile for a jury to convict, describing him as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” drawing angry pushback from the Biden camp, which unleashed its smear machine against the prosecutor.
The special counsel didn’t back down during congressional testimony, explaining that Biden’s depleted mental condition was the factor in determining not to charge him.
ROBERT HUR WAS RIGHT…. “The evidence and the president himself put his memory squarely at issue…my assessment in the report about the relevance of the president’s memory was necessary and accurate and fair.” TRUTH. The Dems and media LIED!

The damning audio drew a strong reaction from X users with some suggesting a scandal that’s bigger than Watergate.
HOLY CRAP! Partial audio from the Hur investigation has been RELEASED.
Biden is clearly not there mentally.
This scandal is bigger than Watergate and there’s no denying it.

This is absolutely damning.
Every single person who hid this from the American people should go to prison.
Holy shit this is even worse than I thought.
My god.
This was a massive coverup.

When? When did Axios obtain this audio?
— Matthew Linder (@LinderMatthew) May 16, 2025
He couldn’t even remember when his son passed away
He was definitely not running the country
— Wolf White (@HvitaUlfrinn) May 16, 2025
He sounded like this Every Single Day of his presidency, on the rare chance we heard him answer a question. He was never running this country. His handlers were ruining it, though.

“Look, everybody understands the condition of him,” Trump told reporters on Friday. “I know people that are 89, 90, 92, 93 years old and are literally perfect. But Joe was not one of them, and they did a lot of hiding. They were, they were really playing games. And, you know, you can’t do that. Our country’s at stake.”
