Tapper, Joe Biden and White House
Digest more
A book co-written by the CNN host says Biden's team worried their boss would have to use a wheelchair if he won reelection.
Jake Tapper accused the White House of lying to the press, Congress, the Cabinet, and White House staffers about former President Joe Biden's ailing health.
Former President Joe Biden’s physical deterioration was severe enough in the second half of his presidency that his aides privately discussed putting him in a wheelchair for his second term, according to a new book from CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson.
The book takes aim at the final days of Joe Biden as president and is titled “Original Sin: President Biden’s Delcine, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.” Among the topics discussed was the accusation in the book that Biden’s aides thought he might eventually need a wheelchair to get around.
