White House Demands Transparency from Jill Biden
In a stunning accusation from the Trump administration, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has called for former First Lady Jill Biden to account for her alleged role in concealing President Biden’s mental deterioration. The statements came as Congressional Republicans intensified their investigation into Biden’s cognitive abilities during his time in office. The House Oversight Committee has already sent letters requesting interviews with five Biden confidantes, including his White House physician, specifically concerning his mental decline and how it may have affected critical presidential decisions.
“I think, frankly, the former first lady should certainly speak out about what she saw in regards to her husband and when she saw it and what she knew,” said Karoline Leavitt.
The accusations come amid growing evidence documented in forthcoming books and media reports suggesting an elaborate effort to shield Biden from unscripted public interactions. Leavitt’s comments reflect the administration’s position that the American public deserves answers about who was making critical decisions during Biden’s presidency if his cognitive abilities were compromised. The controversy has gained significant traction among conservatives who have long questioned Biden’s mental acuity.

Damning Evidence in New Books and Reports
The 2025 book “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” authored by CNN’s Jake Tapper and journalist Alex Thompson, presents detailed accounts of Biden’s struggle with basic campaign functions. According to the book, Biden’s team went to extraordinary lengths to control his environment, staging seemingly spontaneous campaign events where questions and interactions were carefully managed. The allegations suggest a pattern of deception that prevented voters from seeing Biden’s true condition.
“The former first lady should certainly speak up about what she saw in regard to her husband and when she saw it and what she knew, because I think anybody looking again at the videos and photo evidence of Joe Biden with your own eyes and a little bit of common sense can see this was a clear cover up, And Joe, by, Jill Biden was certainly complicit in that cover up,” said Karoline Leavitt.
Video documentation shows multiple instances where Jill Biden physically directed her husband away from reporters or intervened when he appeared confused in public settings. These clips have fueled speculation about her role as a gatekeeper controlling access to the president. Republican investigators are particularly concerned about reports that presidential decisions may have been authorized using an autopen rather than by Biden himself, raising serious constitutional questions about who was actually governing the country.
Denials and Defensive Responses
Both Joe and Jill Biden have vehemently denied the allegations of a cover-up. During a recent appearance on “The View,” Jill Biden rejected claims that she created a cocoon around her husband or shielded him from public scrutiny. “I did not create a cocoon around him. I mean, you saw him in the Oval Office. You saw him making speeches. He wasn’t hiding somewhere,” said Dr. Biden.
A Biden spokesperson has also dismissed the allegations, stating: “There is nothing in this book that shows Joe Biden failed to do his job, as the authors have alleged, nor did they prove their allegation that there was a cover-up or conspiracy. Nowhere do they show that our national security was threatened or where the President wasn’t otherwise engaged in the important matters of the Presidency. In fact, Joe Biden was an effective President who led our country with empathy and skill.”
Despite these denials, Leavitt remains adamant that video evidence contradicts their claims, telling reporters: “There’s documentation, video evidence of her clearly shielding her husband away from the cameras that were just on ‘The View’ last week. She was saying, ‘Everything is fine.’ She’s still lying to the American people. She still thinks the American public are so stupid that they’re going to believe her lies. And frankly, it’s insulting and she needs to answer for it.”
As the investigation continues, the contrasting narratives highlight the deep political divisions surrounding Biden’s presidency and raise profound questions about transparency in our highest office. Conspicuously, a spokesperson for Jill Biden has repeatedly declined to comment on these serious allegations.
