US President Joe Biden has angrily criticised an investigation that found he mishandled top secret files and said he struggled to recall key life events.

In a surprise news briefing on Thursday evening, Mr Biden insisted: “My memory is fine.”

He slammed a claim that he could not recollect when his son died, saying: “How the hell dare he raise that?”

The inquiry found Mr Biden “wilfully retained and disclosed” classified files, but decided not to charge him.

    It seemed like odd wording for a Special Counsel to use with regards to the President. That doesn’t sound in the least professional and doesn’t seem to fit within the scope of the classified documents case he was investigating, it seemed almost designed to provoke this sort of argument about Biden’s mental fitness.

    Regardless, I would vote for a wet paper bag over Trump, doesn’t matter, anyone or anything but Trump 2.0.
