In one portion of the special counsel’s interview of Biden, Biden can’t remember what a fax machine is called, according to a transcript reviewed by @FDRLST
“I have a library, and the library has a — two filing cabinets in it, and it has built into the walls — when I built that home, built into the walls, a space for a copy machine, for a — what do you call it when they send these…” Biden asked, trailing off.
“Fax machine,” Ed Siskel, Biden’s White House Counsel interjected.
“Fax machine,” Biden repeated.

While Biden could not remember what a fax machine was called, he told DOJ special counsel Robert Hurt that he was an architect who had lost track of the number of house plans he had drawn.
“I mean, I’m a frustrated architect,” Biden said. “You probably saw all those significant number of house plans that I’ve drawn.”
Biden claimed in the interview that Jill Biden said she’d pay for him to go to architectural school if he dropped out of politics.
“I’m deadly earnest, not a joke,” Biden said.

In addition to not knowing what to call a fax machine, Biden had to be told what poster board was during his DOJ special counsel interview. During one portion, he goes from telling Hur he’s an architect, to being told what poster board is, to talking about Mongolia, to claiming he was Robin Hood with a bow and arrow, all in response to a question about how documents were stored in his home.
“And so they walked over and they had a target with bales of hay a hundred yards away, and these guerillas were, you know, taking shots,” Biden said. “And I think — I don’t know if it was to embarrass me or to make a point, but I get handed the bow and arrow.”
“I’m not a bad archer,” Biden said. “I hit the damn target.”
