Beau Biden passed away from brain cancer on May 30, 2015, at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. He was 46.
In the audio, Biden also mixes up the year of Trump’s 2016 victory: "Trump gets elected in November of 2017. 2016. 2016. So... That’s when we left office, January of 2017. But that’s when Trump gets sworn in manually."
The fumbling recollections are part of a six-hour interview that Hur used to support his conclusion that Biden’s memory was "significantly limited."
The White House kept the audio under wraps at the time as critical moments in Biden’s own life and in recent American history appeared to be completely out of reach for the former president.
