US President Joe Biden has angrily criticised an investigation that found he mishandled top secret files and said he struggled to recall key life events.

In a surprise news briefing on Thursday evening, Mr Biden insisted: "My memory is fine."

He slammed a claim that he could not recollect when his son died, saying: "How the hell dare he raise that?"

The inquiry found Mr Biden "wilfully retained and disclosed" classified files, but decided not to charge him.

Prove it. Give him the verbal memory test live. If he passes he can run. Do the same for Diaper Don.

I was just thinking today how it'd be great if right before the first debate they gave them both cognitive tests from an independent third party evaluator.

My suspicion would be that both would have deficits but Trump's would end up measuring worse. Not a great result for the country, but would hopefully shut up the degree to which it's brought up regarding Biden.
