Joe Biden joked about Special Counsel Robert Hur finding 'risque pictures' of Jill in a bathing suit during classified documents search among other winding tangents and riffs the president went on in his sprawling two-day interview

President Joe Biden joked with Special Counsel Robert Hur in his team about finding pictures of his wife Jill in a bathing suit during a search for classified documents at his Wilmington, Del., home.

'I just hope you didn't find any risque pictures of my wife in a bathing suit. Which you probably did. She's beautiful,' he said, according to the transcript of his interview, which was obtained by DailyMail.com.

Hur was investigating how classified documents ended up in an office formerly used by Biden and in his home in Delaware. The special counsel interviewed Biden at the White House on October 8th and 9th. The FBI had searched Biden's home to see if any other classified material was present.

The special counsel's original, bombshell report sparked fury from the White House when Hur described the 81-year-old Biden as 'a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.'  The full transcript of the interview was sent to Congress on Tuesday ahead of Hur's testimony to the House Judiciary Committee.

And while Hur concluded Biden should not be charged for retaining classified information from his vice presidency, his report did grave damage to the president as he fights back concerns from Democrats that he's too old for a second term.

The transcript on the interview shows Biden joking with Hur and his team. But it also shows that - while he remembered the date his son Beau died - he did not appear to remember the year.  

One of the jokes Biden made was about his wife of 47 years.

In fact, Biden has told aides that the key to his long marriage is 'good sex.' 

His racy comment was revealed for the first time by Katie Rogers in her forthcoming book 'American Woman: The Transformation of the Modern First Lady, from Hillary Clinton to Jill Biden.' 

The president gives that marital advice to aides 'much to his wife's chagrin,' reports Rogers, a longtime White House reporter for the New York Times.

Jill Biden is a noted beach fan and enjoys spending time at the couple's home in Rehoboth Beach, Del.

She and President Biden often sun themselves on the sandy shore near their home.

In 1987, Jill Biden famously made it known to her husband and his advisers that she did not want him running for president in 1988.

As Joe Biden sat with advisers in his Delaware living room talking about a possible White House bid, Jill walked through their meeting, wearing a bikini with the word 'NO!' written in a black sharpie on her stomach.

Her move ended the presidential conversation.

Biden has long spoke of his love and devotion to his wife, saying it's more important to him than anything else.

'I'd rather be at home making love to my wife while my children are asleep,' he said in 2006 when asked about running for the Democratic nomination in the next presidential election. Two years later he ultimately did make a run and lost to Barack Obama, taking the number two spot on that ticket instead.

His spokesman at the time said Biden's comment illustrates that a White House bid 'is not an egotistical pursuit for him' and that he is, 'frankly, totally in love with his wife.'

The Bidens are an openly affection couple, showing their love for one another with public romantic gestures.

The president took his wife out for a date night in Rehoboth Beach in August, where the couple had a seafood meal at Matt's Fish Camp and then headed to the local theater to see Oppenheimer, the film about the man who developed the atomic bomb.

They concluded their date night with a romantic walk on the beach to see the super moon, which is when a full moon occurs near the Moon’s closest point to Earth in its monthly orbit. The president had his arm around the first lady.

There have been other moments. 

Biden stopped to pluck a dandelion from the grassy ground for his wife in April 2021 as the couple prepared to board Marine One for a trip to Georgia. The couple has exchanged kisses in the Oval Office and out in the open as they prepare to part for work trips.

For her part, Jill Biden places cardboard hearts on the North Lawn of the White House for Valentine's Day, calling it one of her favorite holidays.

She also has been seen frequently on the Truman balcony, waiting for Biden to return from a trip, watching him walk from Marine One to the White House.

'One thing in my life has stayed the same: Joe and I have always had each other,' Jill Biden wrote in her memoir Where the Light Enters.

The first lady, in particular, paints the president as a romantic, showing his emotional empathy when she talks to donors and supporters of their campaign. 

She often recounts Joe's courtship of her after his first wife and daughter died in a car crash in 1972. She tells how he had to propose five times for her to say yes because she wanted to be sure it was forever so young Beau and Hunter Biden wouldn't experience loss again.

'I really felt that this marriage had to work. Because they had lost their mom, and I couldn't have them lose another mother,' she has said. 

The Bidens married in 1977 - even taking the boys on their honeymoon - and, in 1981, they welcomed daughter Ashley together.
