The Biden Administration continues to deal with the fallout from Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report on Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents; Hur called Joe an “elderly man with a poor memory.”
Hur’s description of Biden has renewed calls for Joe to take a cognitive test.
But White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says no way.
“What do you think about taking that kind of a test?” one reporter asked KJP.
“I have known this president since 2009. He is not just my boss — he is a mentor to me. And I sometimes spend countless hours with him whether it’s at the Oval Office or on the road. If you’re asking me, my personal opinion, he is sharp, he is on top of things. When we have meetings with him and his staff, he’s constantly pushing us to get more information,” KJP says.

One reporter asked if there would be an opportunity to speak to the President’s doctor.
“When can we talk to the President’s doctor and how come he hasn’t been asked to come out here and speak to the Hur report?” the reporter asked.
KJP says Hur is a Republican and a prosecutor — not a doctor.
