Point of fact, Biden's angry response to the allegation in Robert Hur's report on the President's handling of classified documents, said the he couldn't remember "even within several years when his son Beau died," was not something that Hur brought up, but it was Biden who did.
But truth was never something to get in Biden's way of making a political point. And using dead family members to gain points was his go-to move.
“How in the hell dare he raise that?” the ficus told reporters in an impromptu White House press conference. “Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn’t any of their damn business.”
But Biden was never asked the question about Beau's date of death--it was the old codger who brought it up and Biden used it to gain sympathy or to cover up his dementia.
Biden's favorite yarn about a dead family member is definitely stories about Beau, who he claimed died in Iraq, is buried in Normandy after the invasion, and I believe he once said he died in Afghanistan, but I could be mistaken.
Biden brought up his son’s death after he was asked about his workflow at a Virginia rental home from 2016 to 2018, the sources said. This was at a time when a ghost writer was helping him write a memoir about losing Beau to brain cancer in 2015. Investigators had a 2017 recording showing that Biden had told the ghost writer he had found “classified stuff” in that home, the report says.
Biden began trying to recall that period by discussing what else was happening in his life, and it was at that point in the interview that he appeared confused about when Beau died, the sources said. Biden got the date — May 30 — correct, but not the year.
Biden's surrogates attacked Hur like a pack of wolves for something he never did.

Well gosh darn it--the truth finally did.
