Biden’s Cabinet of coconspirators

Published May 20, 2025 2:00pm ET



The Biden administration was a disaster that set the country back years. Most of that can be attributed to former President Joe Biden, but his disastrous collection of Cabinet officials should not avoid scrutiny.

Three Biden Cabinet officials have revealed they were aware of just how bad Biden’s cognitive decline was in office. After apparently being granted anonymity by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson for their book on the subject, one Cabinet secretary revealed he or she was “shocked” by Biden’s condition at a rare Cabinet meeting, saying Biden’s mouth was “agape” and he was “disoriented.” That secretary said the Cabinet “didn’t have access to him” for “months.” A second said their access dropped off as his presidency continued, with Cabinet secretaries having to communicate with Biden through only his aides. A third said Biden could only give the country “four to six good hours a day,” at least in between all his days off in Delaware.
