White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt just dropped a bombshell, accusing former First Lady Jill Biden of spinning tall tales about her husband’s health during his time in office.
The Daily Beast reported that the crux of this unfolding drama is a heated clash over former President Joe Biden’s cognitive fitness, with Leavitt demanding answers under oath from Jill Biden while Congressional Republicans ramp up a probe into whether crucial decisions were signed off with an autopen.
This story has been simmering for a while, but it caught fire recently when Leavitt took to the podium at the Brady Press Briefing Room in Washington, D.C., on April 15, 2025. With the precision of a surgeon, Leavitt called out Jill Biden to reveal what she knew about her husband’s condition and when she knew it.
“I think, frankly, the former first lady should certainly speak out about what she saw,” Leavitt stated, not mincing words about the need for transparency.
She went further, pointing to video evidence and suggesting a cover-up, arguing that Jill Biden played a key role in shielding the truth from the public—a claim that’s sure to raise eyebrows among those who value straight talk over political games.
Meanwhile, Congressional Republicans aren’t sitting idly by, intensifying their investigation into Joe Biden’s mental sharpness during his presidency and the curious use of an autopen for major decisions.
The House Oversight Committee fired off letters this week to five of Biden’s closest confidantes, including White House doctor Kevin O’Connor and former senior advisor Anthony Bernal, demanding interviews about what they observed.
This isn’t just a fishing expedition—it’s a serious inquiry into whether the American people were kept in the dark about the state of their commander-in-chief.
Adding fuel to the controversy is the recent release of “Original Sin” on May 20, 2025, a book by CNN host Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson that promises to lay bare the extent of Joe Biden’s cognitive struggles.
The book also paints Jill Biden as “The Enforcer,” a figure of immense influence within the Biden White House, reportedly shaping decisions and controlling access to her husband.
While some might call that dedication, others could see it as a troubling overreach, especially if it meant obscuring the reality of a president’s capacity to lead.
Both Jill and Joe Biden appeared on “The View” this month to counter the growing narrative, with Jill firmly denying she ever shielded her husband from public scrutiny.
“I did not create a cocoon around him,” she insisted, pointing to his public appearances as proof he wasn’t hidden away.
Joe Biden echoed her defense, dismissing the claims in “Original Sin” as baseless, saying, “They are wrong.”
But with Leavitt’s pointed accusation that Jill continues to mislead the public, one wonders if these denials will hold up under the weight of mounting evidence and public skepticism—turns out, dodging the camera doesn’t dodge the truth.
