Speaking in a video posted to X on the afternoon of Thursday, February 8. Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of the former president, ripped into Special Counsel Hur for his decision not to recommend charges against President Joe Biden over Biden’s handling of classified documents. Trump Jr. characterized the decision as being politically motivated and in defense of Biden.
Beginning his video, Trump Jr. suggested that the point of the investigation, given its conclusion, was to cover for “impaired” President Biden, not to objectively seek justice. He said, “Just so we’re clear, folks, according to Special Counsel ‘this wasn’t a setup at all but really objective’ Special Counsel’ Hur, Joe Biden’s memory is significantly impaired.”
Continuing, Trump Jr. reviewed the details of Biden’s alleged misdeed, noting that his handling of classified information came after he was Vice President, meaning he had no authority to declassify them. Trump Jr. also compared that to how former President Trump has been treated for his handling of documents that the Trump camp maintains he had the authority to declassify and take with him.
Commenting on that, Don Jr. said, “This was eight years ago when he mishandled documents knowingly as a citizen – classified documents. That would be seriously illegal for anyone other than Democrat elites, ok. Trump gets to go to jail for like 700 years for, quote, ‘mishandling his own government’s documents that he had the full authority to declassify.’”
He then sounded off on the Special Counsel’s reasoning in the decision to not prosecute Biden, saying, “Joe Biden had none of that ability, but he’s old and his memory is impaired. This is according to the Special Counsel! So that’s ok. That’s why he doesn’t have to obey the laws.”
Then, turning from the Special Counsel back to Biden, Trump Jr. commented on Biden’s mental ability to be president, saying, “What I wonder is, how is it possible for Joe Biden to be old and have an impaired memory and continue to be the president of United States — the leader of the free world, the man who’s supposed to have his finger on the nuclear button or who you call at three o’clock in the morning when really bad stuff happens?” Trump Jr. claimed, “you could not have those two things coexist simultaneously.”
And, reiterating the claims against Biden related to the documents, Trump Jr. said, “And yet, in the world of today’s Democrats, that’s exactly what you have. You have an old and cognitively impaired president. That’s fine. But even eight years ago, when he was probably less impaired, he was so impaired that he was not aware that he was actually breaking serious laws in handling and mishandling classified documents, leaving them around his Corvette and the garage that Hunter Biden had access to and the CCP-funded Penn Center where he had his offices where it was paid a lot of money to do nothing and never show up. You know, just your average day in Democrat-controlled America, folks.”
Posting about the matter on X in the caption to his video, Don Jr. said, “So Joe Biden is old & cognitively impaired (8 yrs ago) according to special prosecutor Hur, that’s why he won’t be charged for leaving classified documents all over the place. However, he’s still 100% ok to lead the free world & hold the nuclear football! Totally makes sense!”
