Secret Service Whistleblower’s Alarming Claims
Senator Josh Hawley has come forward with startling allegations about former President Joe Biden’s cognitive state while in office. According to Hawley, a Secret Service whistleblower directly assigned to Biden revealed the president experienced significant confusion in the White House residence. The Missouri Republican shared these claims during an appearance on Fox News, where he discussed information gathered during his investigation into the attempted assassination of former President Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The claims come amid increasing scrutiny of Biden’s cognitive health during his presidency. Hawley specifically noted that the whistleblower was directly assigned to Biden, giving credibility to observations about the former president’s daily functioning. These allegations add to mounting questions about whether the American public received accurate information about Biden’s health and mental capacity while he held office.

Constitutional Concerns: The Autopen Controversy
Beyond the allegations about Biden’s cognitive state, Hawley raised serious constitutional concerns regarding the administration’s use of an autopen for signing executive orders and other official documents. The senator characterized the situation as a significant constitutional crisis, questioning who actually authorized presidential directives if Biden was not mentally capable of making such decisions.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has launched an investigation into Biden’s fitness to authorize the use of an autopen. Reports suggest staff may have used the device to sign directives and pardons without the president’s full knowledge or understanding. Comer has reached out to Biden’s former confidants and physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, requesting testimony about the former president’s cognitive health, with threats of subpoenas if they refuse to cooperate.
Senators Eric Schmitt and John Cornyn are planning hearings to address concerns over Biden’s mental fitness during his presidency. Senator Cornyn has echoed Hawley’s warnings about a potential constitutional crisis if key decisions were made without proper presidential authorization or understanding.
Media Accountability and Public Deception
Senator Hawley did not limit his criticism to the Biden administration. He specifically called out what he described as left-wing media’s failure to report on Biden’s alleged physical and mental limitations. During his Fox News appearance, Hawley accused mainstream media outlets of deliberately hiding Biden’s condition from the American public.
A new book by journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson discusses efforts to conceal Biden’s limitations while in office, providing additional context to Hawley’s allegations. The senator emphasized that Americans were misled about Biden’s condition and stressed the importance of uncovering the full truth about the former president’s cognitive state during his term. Host Sean Hannity questioned whether this situation constituted “the biggest White House presidential scandal in history,” to which Hawley did not disagree.
Biden’s recent revelation that he is battling an aggressive form of prostate cancer has intensified questions about whether his diagnosis and other health issues were hidden from the public while he served as president. Congressional investigations continue to examine these issues, with Republicans pushing for transparency about who was making decisions during Biden’s administration.
