New book exposes how top Biden comms staffer was 'tip of the spear' covering up Biden's cognitive decline

  • Journalists claim that during Joe Biden's presidency, Jill Biden and top advisers controlled the country as his declining mental and physical health affected his job performance.
  • This situation arose amid Biden's confirmed metastatic prostate cancer and observable cognitive decline, which his inner circle allegedly tried to conceal from the public and press.
  • The book *Original Sin*, co-written by a CNN anchor and an Axios journalist, reveals that President Biden’s closest advisors pressured journalists to withhold reports on his cognitive health in order to safeguard his bid for re-election.
  • Tapper’s book draws on over 200 interviews and alleges that advisers including Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti, and the first lady’s chief of staff coordinated efforts to block media coverage of Biden’s decline.
  • These revelations raise questions about who effectively led the administration during Biden’s decline and suggest the need for safeguards to ensure transparency and accountability in future presidencies.
