Spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said former First Lady Jill Biden should talk about her husband’s health when she saw it and what she knew.
Here’s what we know now about Biden’s final exit from politics
President Joe Biden announced he had prostate cancer. He was already under scrutiny for his mental vision. This is what we know now.
A top spokesman for President Donald Trump called on former Lady Jill Biden to talk about former President Joe Biden’s alleged mental decline, saying she conspired with the American people to maintain her husband’s health.
White House Press Director Karoline Leavitt’s comments on May 29th — Jill Biden should address “when she saw and what she knew” — answered a reporter’s question about whether she should testify to Congress about the health of a former Democratic president.
“I think anyone who sees Joe Biden’s video and photographic evidence with his own eyes again can see this is a clear cover-up,” Leavitt replied. “And Jill Biden certainly conspired to cover up that.”
President Biden and his wife’s nearby aides did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the growing call from the Trump White House. The 82-year-old Democrat announced last week that he had been diagnosed with “aggressive” stage 4 prostate cancer.
Questions about the president’s mental capabilities reached a eager pitch when former special advisor Robert Huar released a report on the Biden Mischling classification document after his time, after the Vice President concluded at the Obama White House in early 2024. Har concluded that potential detective ju-degrees would feel Biden “a sympathetic, well-meaning older person with poor memories.”
Biden’s performance in the June presidential debate with then-candidate Donald Trump also raised doubts about the well-being of Democrats, who ultimately dropped out of the White House race in honor of then-President Kamala Harris.
The focus on Biden in the Trump White House reflects criticism from House Oversight Committee Chairman James Kommer. To “reveal the mental decline” of Biden, the Kentucky Republican asked several high-ranking Biden administration officials and his doctor, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, to appear in a transcribed interview to “reveal the truth” about the mental decline and potential use of the autopen for swept perdon and other enforcement actions.
The letter seeking testimony was sent to staff including former female Anthony Bernal, former director of the National Council of Policy Neela Tanden, and former senior adviser of former deputy chiefs of staff Annie Tomasini.
Comer said in his final Congress that the Biden White House had hampered the committee’s investigation into the president’s mental capabilities and refused to make aides available for deposits and interviews. “Americans now demand transparency and accountability,” Comer said in a statement.
According to the new book, original sinwritten by Jake Tapper of CNN and Alex Thompson of Axios. This said that anyone familiar with how the administration works is only one of the five Biden runs the country.
During a briefing at the White House on May 29, Leavitt argued that there was documentary evidence showing Jill Biden protecting her husband from public scrutiny.
“She’s still lying to the American people. She still thinks the American public is so stupid, so they’ll believe her lies,” Levitt said. “And frankly, it’s insulting and she needs to answer that.”
