Biden, White House blame Israel war for forgetting basic facts during special counsel interviews
Fox News
President Biden and White House officials on Thursday blamed his memory issues during the special counsel interview on the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
"I sought no delays. In fact, I was so determined to get the special counsel what they needed," Biden remarked. "I went forward with a five-hour in-person interview over the two days of October — the ninth, eighth and ninth last year — even though Israel had just been attacked by Hamas on the seventh. I was in the middle of handling an international crisis." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"Bottom line is, a special counsel in my case decided against moving forward any charges, and this matter is now closed," the president continued. "I'll continue to do what I've always done — stay focused on my job like you do, of my job of being president."
