A Secret Service whistleblower claims that former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline was so extensive that he would “get lost in his closet,” Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) revealed Friday.
“This Secret Service whistleblower actually was assigned to Biden,” the Missouri lawmaker told Fox News host Sean Hannity. Hawley talked to a number of Secret Service sources, some of whom were acting as whistleblowers, in the aftermath of the assassination attempt targeting President Trump in Pennsylvania last summer.
“He told me that Biden used to get lost in his closet in the mornings at the White House,” the senator revealed. “I mean, the guy literally stumbling around in the White House residence couldn’t find his way out of his own closet,” Hawley continued. “The president of the United States. This is outrageous. We were lied to.”
The latest revelation comes as Republican lawmakers have launched numerous investigations into the former president’s cognitive decline and efforts from his staff to hide it from the public.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) is investigating the possibility that Biden’s staffers used autopen technology to sign off on executive orders and other directives without the president’s knowledge. The Department of Justice is also probing the issue through Pardon Attorney Ed Martin.
Use of autopen, a device that generates lookalike signatures when a large volume of documents need to be signed, is not necessarily an issue, Martin cautioned when announcing the investigation. An analysis from the Heritage Foundation found that Biden likely used autopen to sign just about every document throughout his tenure in the White House, the notable exception being the letter in which he withdrew from the presidential race.
Power the Future, a nonprofit organization founded by energy expert Daniel Turner, released a report earlier this week finding “no evidence” that Biden had any knowledge of a number of sweeping executive orders relating to climate change and energy policy. The former president did not mention any of the orders — one of which committed the U.S. government to net zero emissions by 2050 — in a single press conference, speech or video statement.
White House artificial intelligence czar David Sacks earlier this week made the explosive claim that a senior Senate Democrat was responsible for the former president’s autopen activities. “Elizabeth Warren controlled the autopen during that administration,” said the Trump advisor, adding that the Massachusetts senator has a “pathological hatred of the crypto community” and wanted to “drive this community offshore.”
House investigators have also called on Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the former president’s personal physician, and a number of additional key aides to testify about the president’s physical health after he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.
The diagnosis has sparked intense debate, as several urology experts have stated that prostate cancer should have been easy to detect given Biden’s routine checkups. Dr. David Shusterman, a board certified urological surgeon who teaches urology to up-and-coming physicians, speculated that Biden could have had cancer for several years.
Shusterman recalled his experience working in VA hospitals, stating that Biden’s diagnosis is consistent any patient who “hasn’t had medical attention in 10 years, presents to an emergency room with bone pain, and then they find that it’s metastatic prostate cancer.”
