Rep. Gary Palmer (AL-06) has expressed further concern regarding the recently released Department of Justice (DOJ) report on the possession of classified documents by Joe Biden as a private citizen. In a statement, Palmer highlighted the findings of Special Counsel Robert Hur, who stated that President Biden's memory was significantly limited during their interviews. According to Hur, Biden's memory was described as "fuzzy," "hazy," and with "significant limitations." Palmer quoted Hur as saying that Biden would present himself as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory" if tried in a jury.
Palmer also pointed out President Biden's recent confusion of the names of foreign leaders during a press conference, which he has done on multiple occasions. He even mentioned Biden's claims of speaking with foreign dignitaries who have been deceased for nearly two decades.
In response to the DOJ report, the White House has vehemently denied the characterization of President Biden's memory and has criticized the intentions of Mr. Hur. Biden's personal attorney has stated that the treatment of his memory in the report was neither accurate nor appropriate. Palmer commented on the White House's response, stating that it seeks to change the narrative of the President seen in the report.
Palmer then suggested that the White House should release the full recordings of President Biden's deposition so that the American people can listen for themselves. He questioned why the White House is blocking the release if their pushback against Hur's narrative is correct.
In conclusion, Palmer stated that if President Biden is indeed mentally fit, as claimed by the White House, then he should stand trial for willfully and knowingly violating the law by possessing classified materials as a private citizen. Palmer contrasted this with what he perceives as the DOJ's political persecution of President Trump.
