House Oversight Probes Biden Health Cover-up as Trump Amplifies 'Decrepit Corpse' Insult

Lawmakers opened an inquiry after a book alleged a White House cover-up, spurred by Trump's Truth Social post branding Biden a 'decrepit corpse'.

Overview

  • The House Oversight Committee has launched an investigation into claims that the White House downplayed President Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis during his tenure.
  • The probe follows allegations in Original Sin by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson that senior aides used an autopen to mask his health decline and delayed public disclosure.
  • President Trump recently reposted a Truth Social message calling Biden a “decrepit corpse,” shifting from his initial expression of support for the diagnosis.
  • Biden’s office confirmed he has an aggressive, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer that has spread to his bones and said he and his family are reviewing treatment options.
  • Medical experts, including Professor Jonathan Waxman of Imperial College London, have noted the cancer’s unusually rapid progression despite regular presidential health screenings.
