Recent allegations from a Secret Service whistleblower suggest that former President Joe Biden exhibited significant cognitive decline during his tenure in the White House. Missouri Senator Josh Hawley (R) discussed the concerns on a Fox News interview with host Sean Hannity, aired last Friday. According to Hawley, multiple Secret Service agents, some acting in a whistleblower capacity, shared these observations following an attempt on former President Trump's life last summer.
One whistleblower claimed that Biden frequently became disoriented within his own closet at the White House residence, often stumbling and unable to find his way out. These claims were characterized by Senator Hawley as "outrageous," accusing the administration of misleading the public about the president's condition. This revelation adds to the Republican-led investigations into Biden's cognitive health and whether there was a deliberate effort to conceal any such decline from the American people.
The scrutiny extends to several congressional committees, with the House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) delving into the use of autopen technology to sign executive orders and official documents potentially without Biden's direct involvement. The Department of Justice is examining these allegations through Pardon Attorney Ed Martin, who noted that while the use of autopen is not inherently problematic, its implications for presidential authority are concerning.
Further stirring controversy, a report by the nonprofit group Power the Future suggests that Biden may not have been aware of significant executive orders related to climate change and energy policy. The report highlights that Biden never publicly referenced these orders, including a commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
Adding to the intrigue, White House artificial intelligence czar David Sacks accused a senior Senate Democrat, specifically Senator Elizabeth Warren, of controlling Biden's autopen. Sacks controversially claimed that Warren's actions were driven by a "pathological hatred" for the cryptocurrency community, aiming to push it offshore.
Amid these developments, House investigators have called for testimony from Dr. Kevin O'Connor, Biden's former personal physician, and other key aides to shed light on the president's health after his aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis. The diagnosis itself has become a topic of debate among medical professionals, with some suggesting that the cancer should have been detected earlier given Biden's routine checkups. Dr. David Shusterman, a board-certified urological surgeon, compared Biden's situation to patients in VA hospitals with advanced prostate cancer due to a lack of regular medical care.
The whistleblower's account and subsequent inquiries underscore concerns about transparency and the integrity of the decision-making process during Biden's presidency. Lawmakers continue to seek documents and testimonies to clarify the extent of autopen use and to understand who was making key decisions in the administration. Questions also loom over whether climate and energy policies were enacted without Biden's direct approval, as suggested by the whistleblower and subsequent reports.
