A SCATHING REPORT
(Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, last Thursday, Special
Counsel Robert Hur released a scathing report as part of a Department
of Justice investigation into President Biden's mishandling of
classified documents.
Despite evidence of President Biden's willful retention and
disclosure of classified documents to his biographer, Special Counsel
Hur's report recommended that no criminal charges be brought forward
against President Biden.
This was in part because the special counsel determined that
President Biden's memory had such ``significant limitations'' that it
would not be possible to convince a jury that President Biden held a
``mental state of willfulness'' that a serious felony requires.
It is time for the White House to release the full recordings of
President Biden's interview with the special counsel and for the
American people to hear what was said in these meetings where the
President was determined to be too incompetent to stand trial.
