China News Service, February 10 (Xinhua) According to comprehensive foreign media reports, on the 9th local time, the U.S. White House strongly criticized the special prosecutor's report on U.S. President Biden's "poor memory" released the previous day. U.S. Vice President Harris said the report was clearly "politically motivated."
According to the US "Capitol Hill" report, on the same day, Ian Sams, spokesman for the White House Counsel's Office, slammed the report of special counsel Robert Hsu. "The inescapable conclusion is that when the facts and evidence do not support any of the allegations, you wonder why this report is unwarranted and inappropriate criticism of the president," Sams said.
Sams also said the public would understand that Robert Hsu's report contained inappropriate comments. "I think the public understands that when people (Robert Hsu) make comments that they shouldn't make and that go beyond the prosecutor's purview. I think they understand that the president did the right thing here."

According to Reuters, earlier, US Vice President Harris also called the report "politically motivated" and attacked Robert Hsu's integrity.
"The characterization of the president's conduct in this report is completely false and clearly politically motivated," Harris said. "So I would say that when it comes to the prosecutor's role and responsibilities in this situation, we One should expect prosecutors to have a higher level of integrity than what we see.”
According to previous reports, in November 2022, lawyers discovered confidential documents in Biden's office and residence in Pennsylvania when he was vice president. About 10 of them were found in a locked cabinet. Subsequently, in January 2023, lawyers discovered a second batch of confidential documents at Biden's residence in Wilmington, Delaware.
On February 8, 2024, local time, Robert Xu, the special prosecutor in charge of investigating the case, said, "We concluded that there is no need to file any criminal charges in this matter." Biden gave the impression of "good faith" An old man with a bad memory."
On the evening of the 8th local time, Biden himself responded angrily to the report at a press conference, saying that his memory was "very good." But he also made a mistake at the press conference, confusing the president of Egypt with the president of Mexico.
According to reports, for the 81-year-old Biden, age has become a huge political issue. Polls show voters are skeptical about Biden's fitness to be president. Robert Hsu's report gives Trump and his allies "ample ammunition" to attack Biden.
