US President Joe Biden called the Egyptian colleague Abdelfattach AS-SISI President Mexico after assurances about the absence of complaints about acute mind and memory.
At a press conference in the White House, Biden was indignant at “unreasonable accusations of weakening memory and old age”, which are contained in the report of the special prosecutor Robert Khur, who completed the investigation in the improper storage of secret documents.
Biden said that from the very beginning he collaborated with the prosecutor’s office in connection with the discovery of confidential documents in his house. According to the head of the White House, most of the relevant files were with the police, not him, and he did not keep confidential files intentionally.
“no charges against me were put forward in the report, and this was correct,” the president said.
On the other hand, Biden emphasized that he was alarmed by some statements in the text regarding his memory and age. The head of state said that his mental health and memory are in very good condition.
“He says that I have a bad memory. My memory is good. It is noted that I do not remember the year of my son’s death. How can they dare to do this? Who can forget this?”- Biden was indignant, calling such statements erroneous.
However, literally a few minutes after that, Biden mistakenly called the President of Egypt “President Mexico”, which created a resonance in the American media.
Deputies of the US Congress from the Republican Party published on social networks a short video with personnel with a press conference at which Biden mistakenly calls the Egyptian colleague the President of Mexico. The publications were signed with the words “Biden is not suitable for the presidency.”
Previously, special prosecutor Robert Hur in a published 388-page report on the investigation against US President Joe Biden on improper storage of secret documents came to the conclusion that the president deliberately maintained secret information, but recommended not to charge him “due to the weakness of memory “.
According to the report, one of the reasons why Hur preferred not to make charges against Biden is that prosecutors will not be able to prove that the president intended to violate the law in court.
“Mr. Biden, most likely, will present himself to the jury, as he did during our interview with him, as a responsive, well -intentioned elderly person with bad memory,” the report says.
