Biden also said, "My memory's fine," in response to a reporter's question. In your opinion, is Biden's memory fine?

Hur declined to prosecute the president, but he found that he "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen." In response to a reporter's question Thursday night about what he would have done differently, Biden talked about the importance of overseeing the transfer of materials. "I should have done that," he said. "I didn't know how half the boxes got in my garage until I found out staff gathered them up and put them together and took them to the garage in my home," he added. But Biden pushed back against the report's language that he "willfully retained" classified documents, saying such assertions were "not only misleading; they're just plain wrong."Do you believe Biden "willfully retained" classified documents?
