Karoline Leavitt says Jill Biden should answer for cover-up of husband's decline
Jill Biden’s silence speaks volumes. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has called out the former first lady, accusing her of hiding former President Joe Biden’s mental decline, as Breitbart reports. The charge, dropped like a truth bomb, demands answers from the Biden inner circle.
Leavitt’s Thursday briefing ignited controversy, alleging an orchestrated effort to conceal Joe Biden’s health struggles. The accusations draw from a new book, Original Sin, and a congressional probe. It’s a saga of secrecy that’s unraveling fast.
The aforementioned book, penned by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson and released on May 20, claims that White House staff and Democratic Party insiders masked Biden’s faltering health.
Thompson, appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, named key players like Mike Donilon, Steve Riccheti, and Jill Biden’s chief of staff, Anthony Bernal, as gatekeepers. These insiders, he said, controlled Biden’s schedule and public exposure.
Insider control of Biden exposed
“The people in charge were Mike Donilon, Steve Riccheti, Bruce Reed, Anthony Bernal, the first lady’s chief of staff, the first lady, and Annie Tomasini,” Thompson stated.
This clique, he argued, saw Biden most and shaped his day-to-day. Sounds like a tight-knit crew running a quiet operation.
Leavitt didn’t stop at words— -- pointed to visuals. She claimed video evidence shows Jill Biden shielding her husband from cameras, a charge that paints a vivid picture. If true, it’s a calculated move to keep the public in the dark.
Jill Biden, however, has pushed back hard. During an appearance on The View a week prior to the book's release, she dismissed claims about her husband’s health, saying, “The people who wrote those books were not in the White House with us.” Her defiance feels like a dodge when evidence is stacking up.
Investigations gain momentum
House Oversight chairJames Comer isn’t buying the denials. Last week, he fired off letters to five former White House staffers, including Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, demanding interviews for a probe. Comer’s digging for truth, and he’s not alone.
Project Veritas added fuel with a hidden-camera video. In it, DNC vice-chair David Hogg accused Bernal of wielding unchecked power as Biden’s health waned.
Power grabs behind closed doors? That’s a plot twist nobody wants.
Leavitt doubled down, calling Jill Biden’s The View appearance a continuation of deceit. “She’s still lying to the American people,” Leavitt said. It’s a bold jab, accusing the former first lady of insulting the public’s intelligence.
Jill Biden’s defense under scrutiny
“She still thinks the American public is so stupid that they’re going to believe her lies,” Leavitt added. The press secretary’s words sting, framing Jill Biden as out of touch. Actions, it seems, have consequences -- and the truth is catching up.
Jill Biden’s defense on The View leaned on what she said was her husband’s work ethic. “They didn’t see how hard Joe worked every single day,” she said. But hard work doesn’t erase questions about mental sharpness or transparency.
Leavitt’s briefing wasn’t just rhetoric; it was a call to accountability. “I think, frankly, the former first lady should certainly speak up about what she saw in regards to her husband,” she urged. It’s a challenge Jill Biden can’t easily sidestep.
Evidence mounts amid Biden silence
The Original Sin allegations aren’t standalone claims. Comer’s probe and Project Veritas’ video build a case that’s hard to dismiss. A cover-up, if proven, undermines trust in leadership.
Thompson’s MSNBC remarks underscored the control exerted by Biden’s inner circle. They “had the most control over what he was doing,” he said, painting a picture of a presidency stage-managed by a select few. That’s not leadership -- it’s choreography.
The saga leaves one question hanging: Will Jill Biden answer for her role? Leavitt’s demand for clarity echoes what many Americans want -- honesty. If the former first lady stays silent, the spotlight will only grow harsher.
