A startling new allegation from a Secret Service whistleblower has intensified scrutiny surrounding former President Joe Biden’s cognitive fitness during his time in office. According to Senator Josh Hawley, the whistleblower—who was assigned to Biden’s detail—claimed that the president would frequently become disoriented, at times mistaking his closet for an exit and getting lost inside the White House residence.
The claim came to light during a recent interview where Hawley revealed that this wasn’t a one-time incident, but a recurring issue that raised serious concerns within the Secret Service ranks. “This was not normal behavior,” Hawley stated. “And it raises even more questions about who was really running the country.”
This new revelation adds to the mounting body of concerns about Biden’s mental sharpness. The controversial new book Original Sin by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson alleges that Biden’s closest aides actively covered up signs of decline, including episodes where he didn’t recognize longtime associates and private conversations about preparing a wheelchair for a potential second term.
Now, House and Senate Republicans are moving swiftly to investigate. House Oversight Chairman James Comer is reportedly probing whether Biden’s staff used an autopen to sign official documents in his name without his full awareness. Senators Eric Schmitt and John Cornyn are said to be planning hearings focused on how Biden’s cognitive state may have affected national security and executive decision-making.
Biden, who recently disclosed that he’s undergoing treatment for aggressive prostate cancer, has responded to criticism with sarcasm and defiance, even joking that he could “beat the hell out of” the authors of the book in question. But his dismissive attitude has done little to ease concerns—especially with the emergence of testimony from those within his protective detail.
This latest development raises serious questions about transparency, accountability, and the extent to which the American people were kept in the dark about the true condition of the president. As more whistleblowers come forward and official inquiries ramp up, the Biden administration’s legacy may be defined less by policy—and more by what many now allege was a carefully orchestrated cover-up.
