However, it was Attorney General Merrick Garland, a Biden-appointee, who chose Hur to lead the investigation into Biden&#8217;s handling of classified documents.<\/p>\n<p>Some are now accusing Hur of having an agenda despite not having enough evidence to criminally indict Biden.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At the end of the day, it looks as though the special counsel couldn&#8217;t charge him with anything, so he just threw the books at him anyway,&#8221; said former Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile, an ABC News contributor. &#8220;The report read like it was going to get published in the New York Post or on Trump campaign website. It did not read like a legal document.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., in an interview with ABC News on Thursday, called the report&#8217;s descriptions of Biden &#8220;partisan editorializing by a Republican-appointed prosecutor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a Republican special counsel who completely went out of his way to editorialize, to include material in his report that is unnecessary and irrelevant to what he was tasked with doing,&#8221; Goldman said, of Hur. &#8220;The fact that he&#8217;s a Republican and he&#8217;s exonerating President Biden, he knows he&#8217;s going to be under attack because Republicans want to create this false equivalency between President Biden and former President Trump.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Illinois Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker, at an unrelated news conference on Friday, deemed the comments by Hur &#8220;unfair&#8221; and &#8220;unnecessary,&#8221; also noting he was a Republican appointee.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I smell a rat in the comments that were made,&#8221; he told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>Hur had no comment.<\/p>\n<h2>Doesn&#8217;t compare to Trump&#8217;s classified docs case<\/h2>\n<p>Biden aides and allies say the bottom line is that while the investigation into Trump&#8217;s handling of classified documents ended with charges, Biden fully cooperated, and Hur decided there wasn&#8217;t enough evidence to charge him.<\/p>\n<p>Juxtapose that, they say, to Trump&#8217;s case, in which he&#8217;s charged with obstructing efforts to secure the documents.<\/p>\n<p>Jim Messina, former President Barack Obama&#8217;s reelection campaign manager, urged his social media followers not to equate a &#8220;heavily editorialized special counsel&#8217;s report&#8221; as a bigger liability than the 91 criminal charges pending against Trump. (Trump has denied all wrongdoing).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hur, a lifelong Republican and creature of DC, didn&#8217;t have a case against Biden, but he knew exactly how his swipes could hurt Biden politically,&#8221; Messina said in a\u00a0<a data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Messina2012\/status\/1755722610929729859\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve got to stop treating a single line in a gratuitously long, heavily editorialized special counsel&#8217;s report&#8211;in which no crime was found btw&#8211;by a partisan Republican investigator like it&#8217;s a bigger liability than Trump&#8217;s 91 criminal charges and being found liable for rape,&#8221; he\u00a0<a data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Messina2012\/status\/1755974648775233790\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>\u00a0in another.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, also highlighted on social media Friday the differences between Trump and Biden&#8217;s respective investigations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Read the documents. It&#8217;s not hard. Biden fully cooperated. Trump obstructed at every turn,&#8221; he said in a\u00a0<a data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jahimes\/status\/1755998847824752922\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">post<\/a>. &#8220;They know this. And they know how damaging their arguments are to Americans&#8217; confidence in their democracy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While Trump&#8217;s popularity among Republican voters has risen with each criminal indictment, according to his national polling average on 538, Biden&#8217;s mishandling of documents might not be as easily accepted by his base.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a gap when it comes to perceptions of Trump, 77, and Biden, 81. A recent NBC News\u00a0<a data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2024-election\/bidens-age-fitness-top-list-voters-concerns-poll-finds-rcna137212\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">poll<\/a>\u00a0found 62% of voters have &#8220;major concerns&#8221; about Biden&#8217;s age whereas only 34% have &#8220;major concerns&#8221; about Trump&#8217;s age.<\/p>\n<h2>The special counsel has no business making &#8216;gratuitous&#8217; statements<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;Gratuitous&#8221; is swiftly becoming a buzzword for Democrats to describe the language they take issue with in Hur&#8217;s report.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The way that the president&#8217;s demeanor in that report was characterized, could not be more wrong on the facts and clearly, politically motivated, gratuitous,&#8221; said Vice President Kamala Harris, a former federal prosecutor. &#8220;When it comes to the role and responsibility of a prosecutor in a situation like that, we should expect that there will be a higher level of integrity than what we saw,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic National Committee War Room on Friday blasted a press email listing nearly a dozen instances of other prosecutors and legal experts questioning whether Hur&#8217;s comments on Biden&#8217;s memory were appropriate, with the email characterizing them as &#8220;political cheap shots that came straight from MAGA Republican talking points.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Among the voices was former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder, who said in a post on X that the report had &#8220;many gratuitous remarks and is flatly inconsistent with long standing DOJ traditions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ian Sams,\u00a0a spokesperson for the White House counsel&#8217;s office, was among the first to\u00a0<a data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanSams46\/status\/1755701207849390498\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">characterize<\/a>\u00a0Hur&#8217;s criticisms of Biden&#8217;s memory as &#8220;inaccurate, gratuitous and wrong.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Recounting personal Biden stories about mental agility<\/h2>\n<p>Biden allies are also offering first-hand accounts of Biden&#8217;s sharpness as they face renewed questions about his mental acuity.<\/p>\n<p>Goldman has recounted in multiple interviews how he spoke with Biden the day before the president&#8217;s voluntary interview with the special counsel on Oct. 8, the day after Hamas attacked Israel.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He was incredibly on point. His recall, his knowledge of a very tricky geopolitical situation was remarkable right off the bat. And he had spoken to a number of leaders, and he knew exactly where the pressure points were,&#8221; Goldman said. &#8220;And that&#8217;s where his age is so beneficial because he has 50 years of foreign policy experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>DNC Chair Jaime Harrison also shared his Biden story in a post, moments after the president&#8217;s impromptu Thursday night news conference.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On AF1 I chatted with him on a myriad of topics from politics to family. Saw him bring down the house in SC talking about the promises made and the promises kept!&#8221; Harrison assured his followers.<\/p>\n<p>Other Democrats are flatly stating the undeniable truth: Biden is old.<\/p>\n<p>But so, they add, is Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;President Biden and former President Donald Trump have both old, and if that&#8217;s the only issue in the 2024 campaign, then the American people will have to judge between two elderly men,&#8221; Brazile said. &#8220;The president has has acknowledged that he is an elderly man, and he also has acknowledged that he&#8217;s still up to doing the work on behalf of the American people. I don&#8217;t know what else we can say.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The youngest member of Congress, Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., in a press call for the Biden-Harris campaign on an unrelated topic on Friday, flatly acknowledged Biden &#8220;is old&#8221; but deflected to the administration&#8217;s record, which he said is what Democrats will run on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Number one, yes. OK. President Biden is old. OK. Yeah. It doesn&#8217;t sound like breaking news to me,&#8221; said Frost, who is 27. &#8220;When it comes down to how this is gonna impact folks down ballot and how Joe Biden&#8217;s candidacy will impact folks down ballot, I see nothing but positivity &#8212; because we&#8217;re looking at an agenda and we&#8217;re looking at a record that is positive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Biden isn&#8217;t the only one confusing names &#8211; so are Trump and Johnson<\/h2>\n<p>The report alleging Biden couldn&#8217;t recall the years he served as vice president or when his son, Beau, died, followed the president twice this week confusing European leaders with their dead predecessors &#8212; instances his allies are dismissing as common mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If he had a momentary blip where he couldn&#8217;t remember, as his mind is racing from the war in the Middle East to the questions that he&#8217;s been asking, I think that&#8217;s understandable for any of us,&#8221; Goldman told ABC News Live.<\/p>\n<p>After Biden mistakenly called Egypt&#8217;s President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi the president of Mexico during his news conference, surrogates were quick to pounce on the fact that Biden isn&#8217;t the only big-name politician to recently confuse a name.<\/p>\n<p>Goldman called it &#8220;nit-picking&#8221; and &#8220;inappropriate,&#8221; he said, &#8220;unless you&#8217;re also going to do it with Speaker Mike Johnson or anyone else who makes a mistake.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Notably, the House speaker confused Iran with Israel last week on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; on Sunday, and Trump, at a rally last month, twice mentioned Nikki Haley when he meant Nancy Pelosi. Trump has also repeatedly confused former President Barack Obama with Biden at recent rallies.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024, ABC Audio.
