You can listen to all 5 hours of the Hur audio here. axios.com/2025/05/17/bid…

Exclusive: Axios obtained the audio of Robert Hur's 2023 interviews of Biden which show repeated mental lapses as he struggles to remember words & dates amid long, uncomfortable pauses. Biden WH didn't release it last year. Listen below. w/ @MarcACaputo axios.com/2025/05/16/bid…

Trump had many lovefests on his Middle East swing. One was with FIFA's Gianni Infantino. Both have much at stake as the World Cup heads to North America next year, with the potential for Trump’s immigration policies to chill international attendance. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…
