Harris says special counsel report on Biden was "politically motivated"

Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday slammed the special counsel report questioning President Biden's memory, and praised how "on top of it all" he was in responding to the Israel-Hamas war.

The big picture: Harris' defense of her running mate comes amid fallout from Special counsel Robert Hur's report that described Biden as an "elderly man with a poor memory" whose handling of classified documents presented "serious risks to national security."

Driving the news: Harris called Hur's report "gratuitous, inaccurate and inappropriate," in response to a question from a reporter on Friday.
