Joe Biden faced accusations of mishandling classified documents. According to legal counsel Robert Hur, the president, who is seeking re-election, is believed to suffer from memory issues and cognitive disorders.

Biden denies allegations

The President clarified that in spite of his age, he has a good memory and is aware of his actions. "I have good intentions. I'm an older man, and I know what I'm doing," he said, adding that it was he who "got this country (the United States - editor's note) back on its feet."

Joe Biden, who is currently 81 years old, is running for re-election as the President of the United States. Reports about memory issues are posing challenges and potentially affecting his popularity among voters.

"My memory is fine. Look at what I've accomplished since I became president. None of you thought I could achieve many of these things. How did that happen?" Biden defended himself.

Another faux pas

The case relating to the American president and classified documents has been officially closed. President Joe Biden will not be prosecuted for taking confidential documents relating to national security with him in 2017. The special prosecutor announced in his report on Thursday - reported by the PAP (Polish Press Agency). Despite this decision, the President's difficulties did not end there. Critics keep highlighting his errors, implying that he may no longer be fit to serve as the head of the state.

During one of the recent televised speeches, Biden erroneously stated that the leader of Egypt, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, is the president of Mexico. "I believe that initially, Mexico's president Sisi did not want to open the border, to allow humanitarian materials to enter. I spoke to him. I convinced him to open the border," he said, mistakenly referring to the Egypt border.
