US Vice President Kamala Harris, trusted lieutenant and running mate of President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential elections, is using her outreach and clout with African Americans, Hispanics and Asians and Indians in tandem with the White House working overtime in a damage control exercise to discredit a special counsel's claims that Biden suffers from memory loss.

She and the White House have dismissed the Trump-appointed special counsel Robert Hur's report on classified documents, that Hur charged Biden took home when he was vice president under then-President Barack Obama, as inaccurate, out of bounds and politically motivated.

President Biden reacted emotionally to the charges on his son's death, telling Hur that he was shattered by his son's death and he (Hur) should have stayed out of it. Hur's uncharacteristic remarks about Biden's memory loss touched a raw nerve in the president. "As a former prosecutor, the comments that were made by that prosecutor: gratuitous, inaccurate and inappropriate," said VP Kamala Harris, who previously served as California's attorney general.
