Defiant Biden conflates the presidents of Egypt and Mexico in a furious response to Special Counsel Robert Hur's bombshell report targeting his “fuzzy” memory, proclaiming: “I know what the hell I'm doing!”

President Joe Biden angrily addressed the nation Thursday evening, telling Americans, “I know what the hell I'm doing!” and insisting that 'my memory is fine.'

Moments later, however, he made another surprising blunder, calling the Egyptian leader the president of Mexico.

Biden's angry tirade from the White House came after the Justice Department released a report on his handling of classified documents.

Special counsel Robert Hur's 388-page report confirmed he would not be charged for keeping classified documents in his garage.

But it said that was because a jury would likely conclude he had “diminished faculties” and was a “well-meaning, elderly man with poor memory.”

During a hastily arranged press conference, an excited Biden insisted, “I know what the hell I'm doing!” My memory hasn't gotten any worse. My memory is fine. Look at what I've done since I became president.

“Nobody thought I could get through the things I was given. How did that happen? I guess I just forgot what was going on….”

The president was particularly animated when Hur included the claim that he could not remember the timing of his son Beau's death.

Hur's report read: “In fact, within several years he did not remember that his son Beau died.”

Biden himself broached the subject, fuming: “It's even said I can't remember when my son died. How on earth does he dare bring that up? I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone to remind me of his death.

“Honestly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it was none of their damn business.”

He also said reports of his “deliberate” retention of documents were “misleading.”

At one point he shouted: 'I have not shared any classified information! I do not have!'

Biden then answered a question about the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

In doing so, he botched the identification of a world leader and named the Egyptian Abdel Fattah El-Sisi the president of Mexico.

He said: “I think, as you know, the President of Mexico, El-Sisi, initially did not want to open the gate to let in humanitarian materials. I spoke to him. I convinced him to open the gate.”

The confusion with El-Sisi might not have been noticed much in a week. Many politicians occasionally fudge names while speaking publicly, as the White House noted Thursday.

But twice this week, Biden has confused the identities of world leaders, bringing up deceased predecessors instead.

The president then blamed his staff for sensitive documents from his time as vice president being found in his home, garage and office.

He blamed the subordinates Some of the decisions that got him into trouble and prompted the years-long investigation that is already providing fodder for President Donald Trump's campaign.

“I take responsibility for not seeing exactly what my staff was doing,” he said.

President Biden went after reporters, accusing special counsel Robert Hur of focusing on his memory in his report announcing the decision not to charge him with his handling of classified documents.

was asked about the report's claim that one of the reasons he was not charged was so that a jury might be sympathetic to a “well-meaning older man with a poor memory.”

He replied, “I mean well and I'm an older man and I know what the hell I'm doing. I'm the president and I put this country back on its feet. I don't need his recommendation, it's completely gone [order].'

Biden was then asked, “How bad is your memory and can you continue as president?”

“My memory is so bad that I let you speak,” Biden responded.

While the report does not recommend filing charges, it offers a flurry of damaging findings about files found in Biden's garage and about the president's fitness for office.

In interviews with investigators, Biden became confused about the dates he served as vice president and could not even remember the year his son Beau died, the report said.

And it said his attitude toward classified documents, such as his habit of reading sensitive files to a ghostwriter, posed a significant risk to national security.

His aides had pointed to more favorable parts of the report, including a passage that said his mistakes were inconsistent with the allegations Trump was facing.

Biden also asked about the situation in Gaza and delivered one of his strongest statements yet on Israel's prosecution of the war.

“The reaction in the Gaza Strip was exaggerated,” he said.

A damaging passage in the report that startled Biden said: “He couldn't remember when he was vice president, and on the first day of the interview forgot when his term ended ('if it was 2013 – when am I then quit Vice President?'), and on the second day of the interview he forgot when his term started ('Am I still vice president in 2009?').'
