The 388-page report that was released on Thursday, February 8, contains several mentions of the 81-year-old incumbent president's poor memory.

“Why didn’t anyone stop that?” asked the First Lady, who is known to be the Commander-in-Chief’s protector.
She also questioned top White House aides, “Where was the person who was going to end the press conference?” Rogers mentions this in her book.

During the course of his presidency, Joe Biden has seldom conducted solo press conferences, according to The Hill.
While he has engaged in joint press conferences with foreign dignitaries, as well as provided remarks and fielded questions from the press on occasion, he has rarely appeared alone before the press.
Notably, in Thursday night’s instance where Special Counsel Hur's report called his memory into question, the President delivered an impassioned defense of his recollection while taking questions from reporters.
