Overview

  • Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s Original Sin draws on more than 200 interviews to allege efforts to hide Biden’s cognitive slip and aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis.
  • Tapper has apologized for insufficient reporting, asserting that the cover-up may rank as a scandal worse than Watergate given Biden’s impaired faculties.
  • Aides reportedly weighed ‘undemocratic things’ to shield the president, curbing his public roles and shaping messages to block Donald Trump’s return.
  • Veteran White House reporters and media critics fault legacy outlets for missing or downplaying warning signs, fueling calls for internal journalistic review.
  • Lawmakers and watchdogs are demanding greater White House transparency, potential reforms on presidential health disclosures and accountability steps.
