President Joe Biden lied about his testimony with special counsel Robert Hur‚ according to new transcripts of Hur’s interviews with Biden over his handling of classified documents.  Hur’s February report concluded that Biden willfully retained classified documents but recommended no criminal charges in part because it said that Biden had a faulty memory and would appear as a sympathetic old man to a jury. One of the key details included in the report was that Biden did not remember the year his son Beau died. Biden said that he was taken aback by a question about his son‚ claiming that it was Hur who brought up the death.  “There’s even a reference that I don’t remember when my son died‚” Biden said in February. “How in the hell dare he raise that? Frankly‚ when I was asked the question‚ I thought to myself: It wasn’t any of their damn business.” The transcripts‚ obtained by ABC‚ show that it was actually Biden who brought up his son. Biden’s confusion came after he was asked about what he was doing after Trump took office.  “And so I hadn’t‚ I hadn’t at this point … I hadn’t walked away from the idea that I may run for office again. But if I ran again‚ I’d be running for president‚” he said‚ according to the transcript obtained by ABC. “And‚ and so what was happening though — what month did Beau die? Oh‚ God‚ May 30th-” Two people at the interview chimed in and said it was 2015‚ after which Biden said‚ “Was it 2015 he had died?” “It was May of 2015‚” one person responded.  Elsewhere in the transcripts‚ Biden said “I’m a young man‚ so it’s not a problem‚” when asked by Hur to discuss previous events as accurately as possible.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Biden also made a comment about how he hoped investigators had not found “any risqué pictures of my wife in a bathing suit‚” adding‚ “She’s beautiful.” Biden also told interviewers that he did not mean to keep any classified documents.  “I had no purpose for them‚ and I think it would be inappropriate for me to keep clearly classified documents‚” he said‚ before saying that it was his staff who packed his belongings from the White House. “I don’t want to hold them responsible or get them in trouble‚ but I believe they were the ones who were packing up … and were deciding‚ you know‚ where‚ where things were going‚ to the best of my knowledge‚” he said.  Biden also discussed moving boxes‚ which were full of classified documents‚ out of the way in his garage to park his car. He said he did not know what was in the boxes.  “I remember moving boxes‚ literally physically moving them‚ with help‚ one side to the other so I could get the Corvette in that garage on the left‚” Biden said.  The release of the transcripts come hours before Hur is set to testify before the House Judiciary Committee.

Special counsel Robert Hur will tell lawmakers on Tuesday that his assessment of President Joe Biden’s memory during his classified documents probe was “accurate and fair‚” according to a copy of his prepared testimony for the House Judiciary Committee. Hur’s testimony will come after transcripts of his interview with Biden were released showing that the president lied about a key detail of the investigation into whether he mishandled classified documents. In February‚ Hur released a report saying that Biden willfully retained classified documents‚ but should not be charged because a jury would likely see him as an aging man with a poor memory.  “My assessment in the report about the relevance of the President’s memory was necessary and accurate and fair‚” Hur wrote in a copy of his testimony obtained by Fox News. “Most importantly‚ what I wrote is what I believe the evidence shows‚ and what I expect jurors would perceive and believe. I did not sanitize my explanation. Nor did I disparage the President unfairly. I explained to the Attorney General my decision and the reasons for it. That’s what I was required to do.” “I analyzed the evidence as prosecutors routinely do: by assessing its strengths and weaknesses‚ including by anticipating the ways in which the President’s defense lawyers might poke holes in the government’s case if there were a trial and seek to persuade jurors that the government could not prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt‚” Hur wrote.  Hur added that it was necessary to evaluate Biden’s memory to determine whether Biden had purposely kept classified documents in his possession after leaving the vice presidency.  “There has been a lot of attention paid to language in the report about the President’s memory‚ so let me say a few words about that‚” he is expected to say. “My task was to determine whether the President retained or disclosed national defense information ‘willfully’—meaning‚ knowingly and with the intent to do something the law forbids. I could not make that determination without assessing the President’s state of mind.” One of the key details included in Hur’s report was that Biden did not remember the year his son Beau died. Biden said that he was taken aback by a question about his son‚ claiming that it was Hur who brought up the death.  “There’s even a reference that I don’t remember when my son died‚” Biden said in February. “How in the hell dare he raise that? Frankly‚ when I was asked the question‚ I thought to myself: It wasn’t any of their damn business.” The transcripts‚ obtained by ABC‚ show that it was Biden who brought up his son. Biden’s confusion came after being asked what he was doing after Trump took office.  “And so I hadn’t‚ I hadn’t at this point … I hadn’t walked away from the idea that I may run for office again. But if I ran again‚ I’d be running for president‚” he said‚ according to the transcript. “And‚ and so what was happening though — what month did Beau die? Oh‚ God‚ May 30th-” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The release of the transcripts came just ahead of Hur’s testimony before the House‚ where he will be questioned by lawmakers about his investigation into Biden.  Former President Donald Trump‚ who is facing charges over his handling of classified documents‚ said on Truth Social Tuesday morning that Biden had more documents in his possession than him and that Biden had no authority to keep the documents because he wasn’t president.  “Big day in Congress for the Biden Documents Hoax. He had many times more documents‚ including classified documents‚ than I‚ or any other president‚ had. He had them all over the place‚ with ZERO supervision or security. He does NOT come under the Presidential Records Act‚ I DO‚” Trump said. “He had many docs in CHINATOWN‚ and they were moved all over the place‚ and heavily used. My boxes were moved by GSA‚ were secure‚ most carried clothing‚ shoes‚ sporting equipment‚ kitchen “stuff‚” newspapers‚ pictures‚ magazines‚ awards‚ etc. The DOJ gave Biden‚ and virtually every other person and President‚ a free pass. Me‚ I’m still fighting!!! MAGA”

Al Pacino released a statement after facing backlash for his delivery of the most anticipated honor of the night at the 96th Academy Awards.  “There seems to be some controversy about my not mentioning every film by name last night before announcing the best picture award‚” the 83-year-old star said Monday in a statement‚ per ABC News. “I just want to be clear it was not my intention to omit them‚ rather a choice by the producers not to have them said again since they were highlighted individually throughout the ceremony.” “I was honored to be a part of the evening and chose to follow the way they wished for this award to be presented‚” Pacino added. The “Scarface” actor was facing heat online from viewers who were confused by his delivery.  “My friends! Thank you‚ thank you‚” he began from the stage on Sunday. “This is the time for the last award for the evening and it’s my honor to present it. Ten wonderful films were nominated but only one will take the award for best picture. And I have to go to the envelope for that. And I will…. Here it comes.” “And my eyes see ‘Oppenheimer‚'” Pacino said after opening the envelope. When the audience didn’t react immediately‚ Pacino started naming the film’s producers. “Yes‚ Emma Thomas‚ Charles Roven‚” he said. Previous presenters at Sunday’s ceremony had done much bigger lead-ups to announcing the winners‚ highlighting all the nominees and complimenting their performances. The only other category that didn’t include the presenter reading all the nominees before announcing the winner was Best Original Song. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “I realize being nominated is a huge milestone in one’s life and to not be fully recognized is offensive and hurtful‚” Pacino concluded in the statement. “I say this as someone who profoundly relates with filmmakers‚ actors and producers so I deeply empathize with those who have been slighted by this oversight and it’s why I felt it necessary to make this statement.” “Oppenheimer” was the big winner at the 2024 Oscars‚ taking home wins in seven categories including Best Picture‚ Best Actor (Cillian Murphy)‚ Best Director (Christopher Nolan)‚ Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr.)‚ Best Original Score‚ Best Cinematography‚ and Best Film Editing. The film was nominated in 13 categories.

The Irish government has been served the mother of all wake-up calls. Having spent 24 million euros in taxpayer money on a virtue-signaling effort to convince the nation to remove the word “mother” from its Constitution‚ the Irish government was dealt a swift clip around the ear this past weekend with a resounding defeat of its latest “progressive” referendum. The proposed changes would have removed provisions that recognize and honor women’s service to society in raising the next generation of responsible citizens: … the State recognises that by her life within the home‚ woman gives to the State a support without which the common good cannot be achieved. The State shall‚ therefore‚ endeavour to ensure that mothers shall not be obliged by economic necessity to engage in labour to the neglect of their duties in the home. A “yes” result would have replaced this language with a gender neutral alternative‚ obliging the State more vaguely to support care within the home and the community. It might seem like a small tweak. And certainly‚ there are some men who play a significant role as stay-at-home dads. But the male and female experiences in the workplace‚ home‚ and society-at-large are different. Women and men are not interchangeable. The pressures placed on mothers are unique. It’s she‚ having birthed the child in an experience that no man can replicate‚ who then navigates the delicate balance of work-versus-family. Irish mothers‚ it would seem‚ knew best — with a thundering 74% vote in favour of protecting the original wording of the constitution. The data has always supported such an outcome — which the government might have noticed‚ had they not blindly assumed that they could speak for the women of Ireland. Two-thirds of Irish mums would prefer to stay at home to parent full-time‚ than return to work — if only they could afford it. It’s a sentiment echoed across the West‚ with 56% of American mums agreeing that they’d prefer to stay home and prioritize child-raising over career advancement. Over a third of their British counterparts concur. Today’s model of “boss babe” feminism typically stigmatizes this dream‚ requiring women regain social status by rejoining the rat race to the boardroom as soon as possible after giving birth. But what have we gained from such a model? A plummeting birth rate‚ for one. The pressure on women to spend their twenties and thirties advancing through zoom calls and office cubicles has surely played a hand in the birthrate recently falling to the lowest level on record in six decades. A generation of disillusioned women have been schooled that their value in society depends on their GDP contribution‚ rather than their input into raising the next generation. Western governments have taken “maternity policy” to largely mean cheaper outsourcing of childcare‚ to allow women to return to work as soon as possible — rather than finding creative solutions to support women’s choices to prioritize parenting‚ and invest in raising the next generation. The outcome for society is yet to be fully unpacked. U.S. studies show that lots of hours spent in outsourced daycare can have a link to increased aggression and disobedience in children‚ poorer relationships with teachers‚ and a higher susceptibility to risk-taking at the age of 15 — including through sex‚ drugs and alcohol use. It’s not only an outdated concept of Carrie Bradshaw feminism that is downgrading the value and respect attributed to mums. The growing practice of surrogacy demands the commercialization of motherhood — downgrading the role of a pregnant mother as a mere “incubator” for a product to be passed on to a customer. An increasing trend amongst gay men growing a family through surrogacy is to announce the news on social media with their shirts off‚ in a hospital bed‚ posing as if post-birth. UK Law Commission proposals would seek to enable two dads in such a situation to be named on the birth certificate on the day‚ thus erasing both the legal and social role of a mother in the life of the child she carried and delivered. There’s no question about it — dads are amazing‚ and are necessary in a child’s life. But a thousand excellent dads cannot replace one mum — and her unique‚ feminine‚ nurturing role. The life of a mother is an often thankless task. Ireland are miles ahead of the rest of the West in acknowledging her irreplaceable role within their constitution. It’s time now to put their words into practice — by honoring mums with better‚ more flexible work options‚ and the ability to make an empowered choice to stay absent from the workforce for the length of time she deems necessary to raise her children. The Irish government have talked a strong game about supporting “choice” in recent years. If that’s the case‚ it’s long past time to support a woman’s choice to be a committed mum. * * * Lois McLatchie Miller is Senior Legal Communications Officer for Alliance Defending Freedom UK.
