Republican Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Eric Schmitt of Missouri announced on Thursday that they will be leading a Senate hearing next month aimed at uncovering who was effectively making presidential decisions in place of Joe Biden, and how efforts were coordinated to conceal his cognitive challenges.
The two senators revealed that the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold its first session on June 18, focusing on what they describe as a close circle of Biden family members and staffers who allegedly took over key responsibilities while Biden was “sidelined.”
“For four years, when the American people saw Joe Biden, they saw someone who was clearly not capable of making major decisions for the nation. Yet those closest to the President and the mainstream media did everything they could to hide this truth. It’s time to expose how a cadre of Biden aides and family members were the de-facto commander-in-chief, while President Biden was sidelined,” Schmitt stated in the announcement.
Cornyn echoed those concerns, condemning the alleged deception as unacceptable.
“For this conspiracy between the mainstream media, Joe Biden’s family, and his inner circle to have hidden the impairment of the President of the United States for years, and lied consistently to the American people about his capacity to make decisions, which are solely vested by the Constitution, is unacceptable,” said Cornyn. “Our Republic depends on having a President who has the mental capacity to do the job, and it’s clear that President Biden did not.”
In response to speculation about his mental fitness, Biden made an appearance on “The View” earlier this month to dismiss the criticism, saying people are “wrong” and asserting there is “nothing to sustain that.”
But just over a week later, a new book titled Original Sin was released, including the word “cover-up” in its subtitle. Drawing from approximately 200 interviews—primarily with Democrats and former White House personnel—the book outlines numerous instances that point to Biden’s mental decline and describes how those closest to him worked to keep the situation hidden from the public.
