The report that questioned Biden's memory reignites the battle between Democrats and Republicans in Congress. The battle over the memory of the 81-year-old president has at times overshadowed the discussion over the classified papers.

The transcript shows that Biden remembers that his son died on May 30. Despite the slippages in some isolated details, the full text casts doubt on the accuracy of the report by saying that the president has “significant limitations” in his memory. But the transcript also makes it clear that it was Biden who brought up the death of his son and, therefore, that he was not right.
