President Trump delivered his remarks in a ‘Get Out the Vote’ rally in Conway, South Carolina.
CONWAY, S.C.—During a campaign rally, former President Donald Trump weighed in on a damning special counsel report about President Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents.
President Trump delivered his remarks in a “Get Out the Vote” rally in Conway, South Carolina, two weeks before the state is due to hold its first in the South primary election.
Both President Trump and President Biden have faced investigation for mishandling classified government documents. However, while criminal proceedings into President Trump are ongoing, Special Counsel Robert Hur ruled that President Biden should not be charged despite evidence that he willfully retained classified information.
But that report also casted fresh doubts on President Biden’s mental acuity.
President Biden, who entered office in January 2021 as the oldest president in U.S. history, has long been subject to concerns about his mental fitness for the job.
The report ruled that President Biden shouldn’t be charged, in part due to the fact that he would appear as “an elderly man with a poor memory,” and be too easy for a jury to find sympathy with and not convict.
“It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him—by then a former president well into his 80s—of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness,” the report says.
The report lists two instances of severe lapses in memory that President Biden exhibited during interviews with investigators and the ghostwriter of his book, including forgetting when he was vice president and forgetting when his son Beau Biden died.
Speaking to a huge crowd in Conway, President Trump addressed the findings of the report.
“As you probably know, two days ago, the Biden ‘Department of Injustice’ let crooked Joe off the hook for some of his other egregious crimes—including his brazen theft of classified documents long before he was ever president,” President Trump said.
“This is yet more proof that we have a weaponized, two-tiered system of justice in this country.
