Here’s a rephrased, engaging version in shorter, active sentences:
Leaked audio from a 2023 interview between Joe Biden and Special Counsel Robert Hur has surfaced — and it’s raising major red flags.
Global Pulse obtained the tapes, which show the 80-year-old president stumbling through memory lapses and mixing up key details about his own life. The timing couldn’t be worse, as questions about his mental sharpness continue to mount.
During the interview, Biden struggled to remember when his son Beau passed away. A White House lawyer had to step in and remind him.
In the recording, Biden asks, “What month did Beau die?” Then he mutters, “Oh God, May 30th,” before needing help to recall the year — 2015.
At one point, he even asks, “Am I making any sense to you?” revealing just how hard he was struggling to stay focused.
He also fumbled over key timelines. While talking to Hur, Biden guessed, “This is what, 2017, 18, in that area?” — forgetting the years of his vice presidency under Obama.
The Biden team hit back, calling the audio release and Hur’s assessment a “politically motivated” move.
White House officials insisted Biden was fit for office. They argued his long-standing speech impediment was being unfairly mistaken for signs of mental decline.
In their new book Original Sin, CNN’s Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson slam Biden’s decision to run again as “shockingly narcissistic, self-delusional, and reckless.”
The harsh criticism isn’t just coming from rivals — it’s echoing within his own party.
According to the publisher, the book claims Biden and his inner circle were so convinced he was the only one who could beat Trump, they ignored growing concerns about his health.
Donald Trump reportedly fears he’ll suffer the same fate as his father, who battled dementia in his 90s.
Political analyst Timothy L. O’Brien said earlier this month, “He lives in fear of going down the path his father went down—dementia, then Alzheimer’s. I think he’s carried that burden forever.”
Fred Trump, a real estate mogul, died at 93 from pneumonia and Alzheimer’s. Doctors diagnosed him with dementia eight years earlier.
Despite his condition, Fred kept his title as chairman of Trump Management. Family friend and associate Richard Levy recalled, “He came into the office every day—right up until he went to the hospital.”
