Joe Biden takes aim at 'poor memory' criticisms

A fiery US President Joe Biden has hit back at memory and age criticisms, saying he knows “what the hell” he’s doing as he’s cleared of alleged mishandling of classified documents.

Biden was addressing the newly released report surrounding his alleged mishandling of classified documents in a surprise address to the nation, telling reporters: "I did not break the law, period".

The president also expressed outrage when referencing the report penned by special counsel Robert Hur, which stated that Biden, 81, in an interview last year did not remember key events including the death of his son, Beau, and presented as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory".
