Biden's Memory Slip: Confusing Egypt's Sisi with Mexico's President
TL;DR Summary
President Joe Biden defended his mental acuity at a press conference following a report from Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Hur, who alleged Biden was an "elderly man with a poor memory." Biden emotionally defended his memory and handling of classified documents, but made a gaffe by mistakenly calling Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi "the president of Mexico" while discussing humanitarian aid transportation into Gaza. The report noted Biden's cooperation with investigations and comparisons to former President Donald Trump's own classified documents case.
