US EditionCan We Prevent the Possibility of a Cover up About the President’s Health?
- Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson co-wrote Original Sin, a book released in late 2024 about President Joe Biden's health decline and an alleged cover-up during his 2024 campaign.
- The book argues that Biden’s advisers and family concealed his cognitive decline and aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis, with some Democrats fearing public acknowledgment would aid Trump.
- Tapper said a key moment revealing the cover-up was a 20-30 minute onstage conversation at a 2024 Los Angeles fundraiser, which the White House dismissed as fake despite video showing Biden’s diminished condition.
- Biden announced on May 19, 2025, that he has prostate cancer that spread to his bones, and he and his family are considering hormone therapy and other treatments; Tapper called this a “big tell” of prior concealment.
- The book’s release and revelations have sparked criticism among some Democrats and Biden’s family, who denounce it as false and self-serving, while others see it as confirmation of media and party failures to reveal Biden’s frailty.

The 25th Amendment does not provide a clear solution for removing a president due to incapacity, and the only realistic way to pierce the dome of silence would have been for one or more of Biden's aides to break free and speak truth to power.
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough Admits to Jake Tapper He Was 'Obviously Wrong' About Biden
It is the season of media mea culpas, with MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough on Wednesday admitting he was “obviously wrong” when he described former President Joe Biden as the “best Biden ever” last year, just months before he dropped out of the 2024 race. Scarborough made the comment on “Morning Joe” while interviewing CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson, who were on to promote their new book, “Original Sin.” The book covers the cognitive…
A real stunner: Joe's Cabinet meetings were scripted, controlled · American Wire News
In what may be the least surprising revelation in Jake Tapper’s new book on the covering up of Joe Biden’s senility, the former president’s handlers carefully controlled the environment at Cabinet meetings to hide his obvious unfitness. Even though “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” which was penned by the CNN anchor and Alex Thompson of Axios, has been overtaken by news of Biden’s al…
