From Fox News: As lawmakers continue their investigation into what former President Joe Biden’s inner circle knew about his alleged cognitive decline, one insider who’s written about the issue says he continues to be stunned by the “fog of denial” that surrounded the aging president.
“They [just] convinced themselves, in effect, they believed what they wanted to believe instead of their lying eyes, even during the debate when everything went south,” said Chris Whipple, author of the book “Uncharted,” which chronicled the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election.
Whipple interviewed several members of Biden’s inner circle in the aftermath of his widely criticized debate performance, which ultimately led to the suspension of his re-election campaign.
Former chief of staff Ron Klain, was on of Whipple’s sources.
“Despite that devastating debate, which was lights out, game over, everybody knew it, Klain was still all in on Joe Biden’s nomination and re-election and somehow thought he could beat Trump,” Whipple told “America’s Newsroom” Friday.
“He’s been in the doghouse with Joe Biden and his inner circle ever since he was devastatingly candid to me about Joe Biden’s condition in that pre-debate prep at Camp David.”
Klein reportedly told House lawmakers investigating the former president’s cognitive health that Biden had grown “more forgetful” over his time in office.
Most of the former Biden administration officials questioned by House Republicans have pleaded the Fifth, including the former president’s physician.
