Senate Democrats on the Judiciary Committee will skip a hearing on Wednesday held by Republicans about the alleged “cover-up” by ex-White House officials to shield former President Joe Biden’s supposed cognitive decline while in office, the Washington Examiner has learned.

Snubbing the hearing, designed by Republicans to offer a table-setter for ensuing GOP-led inquiries on the premise that Biden left office mentally unfit to serve, is part of a broader strategy by Democrats to ignore what they consider dubious political fishing expeditions by Republicans.
