President Joe Biden struggled to remember key dates and said he was unfamiliar with how classified documents ended up in his possession, according to a newly released transcript of his hourslong interview with special counsel Robert Hur.

The transcript of Hur’s two-day interview with Biden, reviewed by the Washington Examiner, is part of a wider report released in February that concluded Biden should not be criminally charged for his apparent mishandling of classified documents, in part due to the president’s age. Hur did not recommend charges because Biden’s memory was “significantly limited” and he’d come across to a jury as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

The report detailed how the president had forgotten the year when his son Beau died, a finding reaffirmed in the transcript.

The interview transcript dropped just before Hur is expected to testify before Congress on Tuesday. Both Republicans and Democrats, albeit for different political purposes, are likely to contrast his findings with those of special counsel Jack Smith, who recommended criminal charges for former President Donald Trump for his own handling of classified documents.

In prepared testimony, Hur plans to stand by his assessment of Biden’s situation as “accurate and fair.”

“What I wrote is what I believe the evidence shows, and what I expect jurors would perceive and believe,” Hur will say. “I did not sanitize my explanation. Nor did I disparage the President unfairly.”

In the interviews, Biden was asked about evidence that he held on to classified information, such as documents on Afghanistan. When asked if there were memos about Afghanistan that he kept following his vice presidency, Biden said, “Not knowingly.”

“I mean, it wasn’t anything I consciously — there may have been something that was kept in a notebook or something, but not conscious,” the president continued.

He also said he had “no idea” where staff secured classified documents and did not know what was in certain filings that were moved from one home to another. He could not recall how many times he had been in and out of areas that held classified documents and where notes on things such as foreign policy had been kept.

“I have no idea. I wish I could say I was more organized,” Biden said to Hur, according to the interviews. “I’m being deadly earnest.”
