On The Trail With Joe Biden: 'Details Are Irrelevant In Terms of Decision-Making'

Todd Bookman / NHPR

Joe Biden was under scrutiny for a report that a war story he recounted on the campaign trail was riddled with inaccuracies. As he sat for an interview earlier this week, he responded, "The details are irrelevant in terms of decision-making."

He brushed off the Washington Postreport in an interview with the NPR Politics Podcastand Iowa Public Radio. The candidate series is produced in collaboration with NHPR.

"That has nothing to do with judgment of whether or not you send troops to war, the judgment of whether you bring someone home, the judgment of whether you decide on a health care policy," Biden said.

Listen to the full podcast episode above.

This interview was conducted by NPR's Asma Khalid and Iowa Public Radio's Clay Masters.
