Transcript contradicts Biden claim that Hur asked about timing of Beau's death
A transcript of President Biden's interviews with Robert Hur appears to contradict Biden's claim that the former Special Counsel had asked him about the date of Beau Biden's death.
“How in the hell dare he raise that,” Biden said about Hur on the day the report was released. "Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself it wasn’t any of their damn business.”
In a copy of the transcripts obtained by Fox News, it appears Biden himself was the one who brought up the timing of Beau’s passing when speaking to Hur about his time living at a rental home in Virginia in 2017, after leaving his role as vice president.
“So during this time when you were living at Chain Bridge Road and there were documents relating to the Penn Biden Center, or the Biden Institute, or the Cancer Moonshot, or your book, where did you keep papers that related to those things that you were actively working on?” Hur asked Biden.
"This is, what, 2017, 2018, that area?" Biden responded, before later saying "and so what was happening, though - what month did Beau die? Oh, God, May 30th."
A White House lawyer then said 2015.
"Was it 2015 he had died?" Biden said.
