<h2>MAGA Civil War</h2>

Topline: The relationship between President Trump and Elon Musk implodes on the public stage.
The once cozy relationship between President Trump and Elon Musk is quickly deteriorating – on Thursday, the two men traded barbs on their respective social media platforms. In a series of Truth Social posts, the president said Elon was “wearing thin” and claimed he asked him to leave the White House. Trump implied that Elon was not actually mad about spending increases in the &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; and is instead lashing out at the Trump administration for revoking the Biden administration’s electric vehicle mandate. Trump says the Tesla CEO “just went crazy” after he lifted the mandate, which “forced everyone to buy electric cars that no one else wanted.”

Meanwhile, over on <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1930698237650026675">X</a>, Musk denied Trump’s claims, floated the idea of starting a new political party, and accused Trump of being in the Epstein files. He’s also pulling up past statements from Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) warning about the dangers of the national debt, essentially accusing both men of flip-flopping on what he’s now calling the “Big Ugly Spending Bill.”
The bill at the heart of the dispute narrowly passed through the House last month and is currently making its way through the Senate.
“I think the bill&#8217;s 90-95% there,” Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) told The Daily Wire. “The House has done a wonderful job trying to balance ultra-conservatives like me who want to work towards a balanced budget, as well as those people that are from blue or purple districts as well. I would like to see us cut a little bit more spending.”
The Congressional Budget Office says the bill will raise the deficit by $2.4 trillion over ten years – the White House disputes that figure, and argues that the CBO is under-predicting future economic growth and the additional revenue brought in by the president’s tariffs.
<h2>Travel Ban 2: Visas On ICE</h2>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-930169" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_01_21_11.Still002.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="360" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_01_21_11.Still002.jpeg 640w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_01_21_11.Still002-300x169.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></div>
Topline: President Trump takes another swing at a sweeping travel ban. Will it survive legal challenges?
The president signed a proclamation on Wednesday banning nationals from 12 countries, including Afghanistan, the Congo, Haiti, Iran, Somalia, and Yemen, from entering the United States. That includes temporary visitors or those seeking permanent immigrant status. Seven more countries, including Venezuela and Cuba, will face a partial ban. While the order includes exemptions for existing visa holders and individuals whose entry “serves U.S. national interests” — presumably heads of state and other diplomats — just about everyone else looking to come from those countries will be kept out. The policy is reminiscent of a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/trump-signs-proclamation-banning-travel-12-countries-cbs-news-reports-2025-06-04/">previous travel ban</a> Trump implemented during his first term.
In a <a href="https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/1930412786271547485">video</a> announcing the order, the president cited the terror threat posed by individuals from those countries, pointing to past attacks in Europe and the United States and arguing that the travel ban was a matter of national security. “Among the national security threats [the U.S. State Department] analysis considered are the large-scale presence of terrorists, failure to cooperate on visa security, inability to verify travelers&#8217; identities, inadequate record keeping of criminal histories and persistently high rates of illegal visa overstays,” Trump said.
The White House offered <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/2024-10/24_1011_CBP-Entry-Exit-Overstay-Report-FY23-Data.pdf">specific numbers</a> on countries with particularly egregious rates of visa violations. For example, 29% of Afghans here on student or worker visas have overstayed those visas and now live here illegally. Likewise, 49% of B-1/B-2 visas issued to visitors from Chad resulted in similar overstays. Trump says those overstay rates are indicative of a “blatant disregard for United States immigration laws.”
“The list is subject to revision based on whether material improvements are made,” the president continued. “Likewise new countries can be added as threats emerge around the world, but we will not allow people to enter our country who wish to do us harm and nothing will stop us from keeping America safe.”
The ban is part of a broader crackdown on immigration enforcement. President Trump has reportedly been dissatisfied with the number of criminal illegals being arrested — it’s been widely reported that top White House adviser Stephen Miller met with ICE officials and threatened to fire top brass if they did not begin detaining at least 3,000 illegals a day. In response, ICE appears to be ramping up its efforts. On Tuesday, the agency made <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/04/us-news/ice-arrests-surge-to-2200-in-one-day-after-trump-adviser-stephen-miller-pushed-to-dramatically-ramp-up-busts/">2,200 arrests</a> — their highest single-day total in history.
<h2>On Executives &amp; Autopens</h2>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-930167" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_02_17_23.Still003.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="360" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_02_17_23.Still003.jpeg 640w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_02_17_23.Still003-300x169.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></div>
Topline: President Trump and Congress demand a probe into the Biden autopen controversy. Who signed off on major policies, and was Biden aware?
Trump has ordered an investigation into the Biden administration&#8217;s use of the autopen, following new revelations about the apparent cover-up of Biden’s mental and physical decline during his tenure. The president signed a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/06/reviewing-certain-presidential-actions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">memo</a> calling on Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead an investigation into the Biden administration&#8217;s use of this autopen, which mechanically signed Biden’s signature on official documents.
The investigation will look at whether staffers, who are not named, &#8220;unconstitutionally&#8221; exercised the president’s authority while deceiving the public about Biden’s mental and physical state. It will look at which policy documents were signed by the autopen, and who directed the autopen to be used.
“The autopen, I think, is the big scandal outside of the rigged election of 2020,” Trump said on Thursday.
The <a href="https://x.com/GOPoversight/status/1930351332856345072?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">House Oversight Committee</a> also heard testimony this week on the validity of Biden&#8217;s executive orders and the possible abuse of the president&#8217;s autopen.
During Biden’s tenure, the White House issued more than 1,200 <a href="https://foxnews.com/category/politics/biden-executive-orders">presidential documents</a>, he appointed hundreds of judges to the federal bench, and issued more pardons and commutations than any administration in U.S. history. Trump’s memo also singles out Biden’s controversial decision to commute the sentences of dozens of dangerous criminals on federal death row, including mass murderers and child killers. Trump has previously highlighted Biden-era pardons, including that of Dr. Anthony Fauci, which he suggested was invalid because an autopen signed it.
In response, former President Joe Biden released a statement on Thursday that claimed he was the one who made the decisions about “pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations,” adding that “any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false.”

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has issued a subpoena compelling former White House physician Kevin O&#8217;Connor to testify on Capitol Hill at the end of June.
A probe into the Biden White House — and any attempts that were made to hide the former president&#8217;s physical and cognitive decline from the American people — was announced earlier in the week. The investigation will also explore the extensive use of an autopen during Biden&#8217;s presidency, with particular attention paid to whether or not Biden was aware of what was being signed when the autopen was in use.

&#8220;COMER SUBPOENAS BIDEN&#8217;S DOCTOR TO TESTIFY ON AUTOPEN AND MENTAL DECLINE SCANDAL!&#8221; the X post from the Oversight Committee read.
The remainder of the message was directed at O&#8217;Connor, noting that the Committee had already requested that he appear voluntarily to address the issues at hand. Since he had refused to do so, the subpoena was the next logical step toward getting the necessary information.
Comer directed a <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/2025.05.06-Subpoena-Cover-Letter-to-Dr.-Kevin-OConnor.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to O&#8217;Connor, which stated in part, &#8220;On May 22, 2025, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform requested that you — because of your role as former Physician to the President for President Joe Biden — appear for a transcribed interview on June 25, 2025, broadly regarding ‘the circumstances surrounding your assessment in February 2024 that former President Biden was ‘a healthy, active, robust 81-year-old male, who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency.’&#8221;

Journalist Megyn Kelly weighed in on former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announcing that she was leaving the Democratic party and becoming an independent.
“You&#8217;ve got to be kidding me. … What a lie. … She&#8217;s going to tell us what it&#8217;s like to be an independent?” Kelly said on Wednesday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show.” She went on to explain her own history as an independent, describing Jean-Pierre’s abrupt rebranding as having the “stank of desperation,” considering how she worked for the Obama and Biden administrations. 
“She ran for the hills trying to pretend she knows what independence is,” Kelly added.

Kelly went on to speak on others who had been in the role and how Jean-Pierre compares.
“You have had press secretaries &#8230; Dana Perino, Kayleigh McEnany, Tony Snow back in the day &#8230; who are smart people. Who are not, really, let&#8217;s face it, utter morons who are just out there as mouthpiece,” Kelly said. 
She added, “Obviously. Karoline Leavitt … very smart person. But Karine Jean Pierre is not on the list. All right? Even Jen Psaki, she&#8217;s not a moron, but Karine Jean Pierre is a total moron. You only need to have watched her for two days to pick that up.”

“There is literally nobody in the country who wants to hear her political analysis on anything,” Kelly said. 
The journalist was reacting to the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-press-sec-karine-jean-pierre-says-shes-leaving-democrats-selling-inside-look-at-broken-wh">news</a> of Jean-Pierre’s new memoir, “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines.” 
“In a country obsessed with blind loyalty to a two-party democratic system, Karine Jean-Pierre, former White House press secretary to the Biden-Harris administration, shares why Americans must step beyond party lines to embrace life as Independents (sic),” the book description says. “Jean-Pierre didn’t come to her decision to be an Independent (sic) lightly. She has served two American presidents, Obama and Biden.” 
In the book, Jean-Pierre “urges Americans to think outside of the blue-and-red box as we consider what’s next to save our democracy,” per the description.

President Donald Trump ordered on Wednesday an investigation into whether aides improperly used autopen for executive actions in an effort to conceal former President Joe Biden&#8217;s health issues while in office.
In a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/06/reviewing-certain-presidential-actions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">memo</a>, Trump tasked the Counsel to the President with determining if &#8220;certain individuals conspired to deceive the public about Biden&#8217;s mental state and unconstitutionally exercise the authorities and responsibilities of the President.&#8221; Trump noted the U.S. Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and other relevant agency heads would provide consultation.
&#8220;Given clear indications that President Biden lacked the capacity to exercise his Presidential authority, if his advisors secretly used the mechanical signature pen to conceal this incapacity, while taking radical executive actions all in his name, that would constitute an unconstitutional wielding of the power of the Presidency, a circumstance that would have implications for the legality and validity of numerous executive actions undertaken in Biden&#8217;s name,&#8221; Trump said.
A president is allowed to use a machine to sign off on various documents. However, the Heritage Foundation&#8217;s Oversight Project examined records with Biden&#8217;s signature over the course of his presidency and found many important documents featuring autopen signatures, including his 11th-hour <a href="https://x.com/ItsYourGov/status/1899520975156216146" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pardons</a> for Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, January 6 Committee members, and certain Biden family members.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump went as far as to <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@Hua341/posts/114451007070972131" target="_blank" rel="noopener">insist</a> Biden&#8217;s pardons using autopen were &#8220;VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT.&#8221; He also said members of the &#8220;Unselect Committee&#8221; should &#8220;fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level.&#8221;
Other presidential signatures on documents, such as the pardon for Hunter Biden and the president&#8217;s announcement that he was dropping out of the 2024 presidential race after a fumbling debate performance against Trump, appear to have been done by hand, the Oversight Project <a href="https://oversight.heritage.org/Autopen_Memorandum_(Final).pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">determined</a>.
In a <a href="https://x.com/mviser/status/1930449726538670156" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>, Biden pushed back on the notion that he did not dictate his executive actions. “Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false,&#8221; the 46th president said.
Republicans in Congress have been skeptical, looking into any efforts to cover up Biden&#8217;s condition and the potential unauthorized use of autopen. House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/release/chairman-comer-demands-testimony-from-bidens-doctor-former-white-house-aides-on-cover-up-of-mental-decline/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">demanded</a> testimony from various former White House aides and, on Wednesday night, announced he would be <a href="https://x.com/RepJamesComer/status/1930413180200652905" target="_blank" rel="noopener">subpoenaing</a> Biden&#8217;s doctor.
The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/this-is-impersonation-of-the-president-expert-lays-out-the-stakes-of-bidens-autopen-controversy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> Daniel Turner, founder of Power The Future, testified to Congress on Wednesday that White House staff may have used an autopen of Biden’s signature in a &#8220;deceit of the American people&#8221; in which orders were signed with &#8220;no evidence of Joe Biden in first person, in his voice as president talking about them.&#8221;
A new book from CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson, &#8220;Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,&#8221; as well as the recent disclosure that Biden is fighting an &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-diagnosed-with-aggressive-form-of-prostate-cancer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aggressive form</a>&#8221; of prostate cancer and the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/audio-of-bidens-special-counsel-interview-is-out-and-its-painful-to-listen-to" target="_blank" rel="noopener">audio</a> of former special counsel Robert Hur’s interview with him fueled scrutiny.
While at a public event in Delaware last week, former President Biden issued a defiant response when confronted about the controversy over his mental and physical health while in office. “You can see that I’m mentally incompetent and I can’t walk, and I can beat the hell out of both of them,” he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-says-he-can-beat-the-hell-outta-jake-tapper-jokes-hes-mentally-incompetent" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, apparently referencing Tapper and Thompson.

Trump Orders Investigation Into Biden Autopen Scandal

Health

U.S.

Former President Joe Biden may have unknowingly crippled fossil fuel projects because staffers may have abused their authority to sign orders the president never approved. 
Daniel Turner, founder of Power The Future, testified to Congress on Wednesday that White House staff may have used an autopen of Biden’s signature in a major “deceit of the American people.” Turner’s group has <a href="https://www.powerthefuture.com/shocking-new-report-raises-questions-about-bidens-awareness-of-sweeping-climate-orders/">called</a> for an investigation into eight of Biden’s executive orders over suspicions that they may have been signed without the president’s knowledge.
“This is impersonation of the president,” Turner explained to GOP Rep. James Comer. “Staffers, of course, have a lot of leniency in what they do working on behalf of the president, but these executive orders that we identified, there&#8217;s no evidence of Joe Biden in first person, in his voice as president talking about them.”
“When you ban the export of liquid natural gas and you never get asked about it in person, one has to wonder if Joe Biden did it or if a staffer did it on his behalf?” Turner continued.
Comer, who chairs the House Oversight Committee, is leading a congressional investigation into the Biden administration&#8217;s use of an autopen to sign executive orders as part of a larger probe into a White House cover-up of the former president&#8217;s precipitous health decline.
Turner cited an anecdote from House Speaker Mike Johnson about a meeting the speaker had with Biden. Earlier this year, Johnson relayed that he once met with Biden and questioned the former president on an order pausing liquified natural gas exports to non-Free Trade Agreement countries. Biden had denied ever signing the order.
“He genuinely didn’t know what he had signed,” Johnson <a href="https://x.com/TheFP/status/1880413292251984065">said</a>. “I walked out of that meeting with fear and loathing because I thought, ‘we are in serious trouble — who is running the country?’ Like, I don’t know who put the paper in front of him, but he didn’t know.”
The story at the time had been taken as more evidence of the former president’s mental decline. But, Biden may also have been honestly ignorant that his signature was on the order, Turner said.
“Two things can be true: maybe he really didn&#8217;t know what Speaker Johnston was talking about. Maybe he had no idea he passed this executive order,” said Turner. “If the president was never asked about it, and he hides from the press, and there&#8217;s no opportunity for him to get asked in public about it, how do we know he actually did it?”
Turner said that in the course of these questionable executive orders being carried out, “lives were destroyed.”
“When you ban the export of liquid natural gas, there are hundreds of thousands of men and women who work in the natural gas industry. Lives are destroyed. People went bankrupt because of” an order Biden may not have knowingly signed, Turner said.

‘This Is Impersonation Of The President’: Expert Lays Out The Stakes Of Biden’s Autopen Controversy

Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has left the Democratic Party after working for two Democratic presidents and a career of toeing the party line, most notably while also defending former President Joe Biden amid his obvious cognitive decline.
News about Jean-Pierre’s party affiliation broke with the listing of her new memoir, “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines,” online. The Barnes &amp; Noble description of the book reveals that Jean-Pierre has become an independent.
“In a country obsessed with blind loyalty to a two-party democratic system, Karine Jean-Pierre, former White House press secretary to the Biden-Harris administration, shares why Americans must step beyond party lines to embrace life as Independents,” the description begins.
“Jean-Pierre didn’t come to her decision to be an Independent lightly. She has served two American presidents, Obama and Biden,” it continues.
In the book, Jean-Pierre “urges Americans to think outside of the blue-and-red box as we consider what’s next to save our democracy,” the description says.
Former President Biden promoted Jean-Pierre into the press secretary role in May 2022, and from then until the end of his term, Jean-Pierre served as Biden’s foremost apologist and defender.
Jean-Pierre repeatedly dismissed questions over Biden’s physical and mental health. In July 2024, after Biden withdrew from the presidential race following his disastrous debate performance, Jean-Pierre flatly denied that there was a “cover-up” to hide the president’s frailty from the public.
“There’s been no cover up. I want to be very clear about that,” <a href="https://x.com/therecount/status/1816206435656819178">said</a> Jean-Pierre.
The former press secretary was unsparingly critical of outlets that questioned Biden’s fitness for office, especially if those outlets were right-of-center. Asked earlier in July, before Biden exited the race, if she regretted pushing back so hard against questions about Biden’s health, Jean-Pierre <a href="https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1808289599401169250">responded</a>: “not at all.”
“Let me be clear, it was a certain part of the media – you can speak to this better than I can – it was a certain part of the media which was doing this,” said Jean-Pierre while talking to a Fox News reporter. “At the end of the day, they’re fakes. That what they were, targeting the president.”
“I don’t regret it at all. It was just the facts,” she said.
CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson recently released a book, “Original Sin,” that implicates the Biden White House in a cover-up of the president’s health in the book’s subtitle: “President Biden&#8217;s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.”
Tapper and Thompson detail that for at least 18 months prior to the 2024 election, Biden’s inner circle and top aides at the White House strategized on how to keep the ailing president from being scrutinized too closely. The ailing president’s decline was so serious aides <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/13/biden-book-wheelchair-2024-campaign-original-sin">discussed</a> getting the president a wheelchair if he won reelection.
Many Americans were already skeptical of Biden’s health. In September 2023, a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/07/politics/cnn-poll-joe-biden-headwinds">CNN</a> poll found that “[r]oughly three-quarters of Americans say they’re seriously concerned that Biden’s age might negatively affect his current level of physical and mental competence (73%), and his ability to serve out another full term if reelected (76%).”
Throughout the campaign and Biden’s final days, Jean-Pierre defended the president against questions over his health.
Last month, Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-diagnosed-with-aggressive-form-of-prostate-cancer">revealed</a> that he has been diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer. The diagnosis raised fresh questions about the former president’s health, his fitness for office, and who knew what about his health during his time as president.
A spokesperson for the former president <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe-biden/joe-biden-psa-screening-2014-prostate-cancer-rcna208120">said</a> Biden’s last cancer screening was more than a decade ago in 2014, as a way of explaining how the former president’s cancer was missed until last month.
In her new book, Jean-Pierre appears ready to defend her record as Biden’s chief defender over questions about his health. The book’s description on Barnes &amp; Noble suggests that Jean-Pierre believes that Biden’s run for reelection failed because of “betrayal” by the Democratic Party.
“In 2020, she joined Biden’s campaign as a senior adviser, becoming Harris’s chief of staff and then, two years later, White House press secretary. She takes us through the three weeks that led to Biden’s abandoning his bid for a second term and the betrayal by the Democratic Party that led to his decision,” the description says.

President Donald Trump jabbed at former President Joe Biden and his lax immigration policies when he responded on Monday to the &#8220;horrific attack&#8221; that took place on Sunday in Boulder, Colorado.
Trump delivered his statement in a post shared on his Truth Social platform on Monday, saying that the alleged perpetrator had only been in the United States because Biden&#8217;s refusal to secure the southern border had allowed him and others like him to cross freely into the country.
&#8220;Yesterday’s horrific attack in Boulder, Colorado, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the United States of America. He came in through Biden’s ridiculous Open Border Policy, which has hurt our Country so badly,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;He must go out under &#8216;TRUMP&#8217; Policy. Acts of Terrorism will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law. This is yet another example of why we must keep our Borders SECURE, and deport Illegal, Anti-American Radicals from our Homeland. My heart goes out to the victims of this terrible tragedy, and the Great People of Boulder, Colorado!&#8221;
The suspect in the case, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, who is in the United States illegally after overstaying his visa, reportedly used a flamethrower of his own making when he attacked people involved in a pro-Israel demonstration. He burned eight people, ranging in age from 52 to 88, and left several injured — including one who remains in critical condition.
Soliman, according to authorities, shouted &#8220;Free Palestine!&#8221; as he carried out the attack.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt spoke with &#8220;America Reports&#8221; anchors Sandra Smith and John Roberts on Fox News on Monday, calling it a &#8220;despicable act&#8221; and doubling down on the administration&#8217;s vow to keep those who are not supposed to be in the United States out of the country through stronger immigration policies and enforcement.

&#8220;This administration has already done so much to ensure that we are deporting individuals who seek to do harm in our country &#8230; I would remind anyone here who is on a visa like this individual in Boulder &#8230; it is a privilege, not a right to enter the United States,&#8221; she said.

Soliman&#8217;s alleged act came just a week after Elias Rodriguez allegedly opened fire outside the Capital Jewish Museum, killing ​Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, two young Israeli Embassy staffers. Rodriguez, in the aftermath of that attack, shouted, &#8220;Free, free Palestine!&#8221;

Bill Clinton denied that he witnessed evidence of a cognitive or physical decline in his fellow former president, Joe Biden, after new details emerged about efforts by the White House to keep the matter under wraps.
In an <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bill-clinton-on-opposing-president-trumps-agenda-we-cannot-throw-the-legacy-of-this-country-away/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with &#8220;CBS Sunday Morning,&#8221; correspondent Tracy Smith brought up “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,&#8221; a recently-published book by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson.
The book &#8220;talks about Joe Biden and the people around him seeing that he had cognitive and physical decline. Did you ever have a moment with him where you thought maybe he was unfit to run for president?&#8221; Smith asked.
&#8220;No,&#8221; the 78-year-old Clinton said. &#8220;I thought he was a good president. The only concern I thought he had to deal with was, could anybody do that job until they were 86?&#8221; Clinton said. &#8220;And we did several long talks. I had never seen him and walked away thinking, He can&#8217;t do this anymore. He was always on top of his briefs.&#8221;

Biden embarked on a campaign for re-election, but dropped out under pressure from allies concerned about his mental capacity, age, and electability following a fumbling debate performance against now-President Trump — who ended up winning a second term in a match-up against Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.
Pressed again, Clinton added, &#8220;No. So, I didn&#8217;t know anything about any of this. And I haven&#8217;t read the book. And I saw President Biden not very long ago, and I thought he was in good shape. But the book didn&#8217;t register with me &#8217;cause I never saw him that way.&#8221;

Clinton said he &#8220;didn&#8217;t want to&#8221; read the book because Biden is &#8220;not president anymore, and I think he did a good job. And I think we are facing challenges today without precedent in our history. And some people are trying to use this as a way to blame him for the fact that Trump was re-elected.&#8221;
Republicans in Congress are now looking into any efforts to cover up Biden&#8217;s condition during his single term as president. House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/release/chairman-comer-demands-testimony-from-bidens-doctor-former-white-house-aides-on-cover-up-of-mental-decline/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">demanded</a> testimony from Biden&#8217;s doctor and former White House aides.

Biden issued a defiant response when confronted about the controversy over his mental and physical health while in office. “You can see that I’m mentally incompetent and I can’t walk, and I can beat the hell out of both of them,” he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-says-he-can-beat-the-hell-outta-jake-tapper-jokes-hes-mentally-incompetent" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, apparently referencing Tapper and Thompson.

Former President Joe Biden told reporters on Friday that he could &#8220;beat the hell outta both of them,&#8221; referencing CNN anchor Jake Tapper and journalist Alex Thompson, who co-authored a book detailing Biden&#8217;s cognitive decline and the corresponding White House cover-up.
&#8220;There&#8217;s also been a lot of discussion recently about your mental and physical capabilities while you were in office,&#8221; a reporter said to Biden at a public event in Delaware, <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2025/05/30/biden_to_cnn_prognosis_is_good_i_cant_walk_but_i_can_beat_the_hell_out_of_jake_tapper.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to RealClearPolitics.
&#8220;You can see that I&#8217;m mentally incompetent and I can&#8217;t walk, and I can beat the hell out of both of them,&#8221; Biden responded, seeming to reference the authors.
Though Tapper details Biden&#8217;s cognitive decline in his new book, the anchor has been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jake-tapper-flails-when-confronted-with-his-role-in-biden-cover-up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">strongly criticized</a> by the Right for refusing to acknowledge Biden&#8217;s very apparent mental troubles during his presidency.
At the same event, another reporter followed up on the health reports and asked Biden about the 2024 election. &#8220;Do you want to reply to any of those reports, and also to the fact that there are some Democrats who are now questioning whether you should have run for reelection in the first place?&#8221;
&#8220;Why didn&#8217;t they run against me then?&#8221; the former president challenged. &#8220;Because I&#8217;d have beaten them.&#8221;
Biden added that he doesn&#8217;t have &#8220;any regrets&#8221; about staying in the presidential race for as long as he did.
&#8220;Look, there&#8217;s a lot going on, and I think we&#8217;re in a really difficult moment—not only in American history, but in world history,&#8221; Biden continued. &#8220;I think we&#8217;re in one of those inflection points in history where the decisions we make in the next little bit are going to determine what things look like for the next 20 years. I&#8217;ve been talking about that for a long time. And I&#8217;m very proud. I&#8217;d put my record as president against any president at all.&#8221;

&#8220;You notice the 12&#8211;the 10 leading presidential historians rated me pretty good up on that list—and the guy I ran against, [they] rated him last,&#8221; he said, referencing President Donald Trump. &#8220;So, we’ll see.&#8221;
The former president also briefly discussed his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/why-a-top-cancer-doctor-says-bidens-diagnosis-story-doesnt-add-up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cancer diagnosis</a>, which was made public earlier this month.
&#8220;The prognosis is good. And, you know, we&#8217;re working on everything,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s moving along, so I feel good.&#8221;
Detailing his treatment, Biden added, &#8220;It&#8217;s all a matter of taking a pill, one particular pill, for the next six weeks, and then another one. And the expectation is we&#8217;re going to be able to beat this. It&#8217;s not in any organ. My bones are strong. It hasn&#8217;t penetrated. So I&#8217;m feeling good.&#8221;

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump weighed in Friday on whether former First Lady Jill Biden should testify about her role in the cover-up of former President Joe Biden&#8217;s mental decline.
The president discussed the matter as he took questions from reporters in the Oval Office on Friday afternoon during a press conference with Elon Musk, who is closing out his time with the administration. The presser comes amidst heavy scrutiny of the coverup of Biden&#8217;s mental decline, particularly in light of a new book on how the White House sought to hide the president&#8217;s condition from the public.
Fox News&#8217; Peter Doocey questioned the president about the topic, asking Trump: &#8220;Do you think that Dr. Jill Biden should also have to come in and testify about what she did or didn&#8217;t do?&#8221;
Trump responded, &#8220;Well, I hate the concept of it.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s the wife of a man who is going through a lot of problems, and everybody that dealt with him understood that,&#8221; Trump reflected. &#8220;And I guess it came out during the debate loud and clear, that was the biggest signal of all &#8230; they have to do what is right. There was a lot of dishonesty in the election as you know, of 2020, that&#8217;s been now caught. People understand it was a rigged election.&#8221;

&#8220;And when you go further out, when you see the auto pen, I think the auto pen is going to become one of the great scandals of all time,&#8221; Trump added. &#8220;Because you have somebody operating it, or a number of people operating it &#8230; cause I knew Joe Biden. Joe Biden wasn&#8217;t in favor of opening up borders and letting 21 million people in, from prisons and mental institutions and gang members, he wasn&#8217;t into that at all.&#8221;
The president questioned: &#8220;Who signed these orders, proclamations, and all of these different things that he signed, that were so bad for our country?&#8221;
The question came after Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky suggested Wednesday that both Joe and Jill Biden could be subpoenaed to testify about Biden&#8217;s use of the autopen to sign official documents. He also suggested that the president&#8217;s former Chief of Staff, Ron Klain, could receive a subpoenas.

“Wherever the trail leads is where we’re going to bring them in,&#8221; Comer told Sean Hanity on Fox News. &#8220;And look, I would love to ask Joe Biden a lot of questions, but right now, we’re starting with the staffers who are operating the autopen.&#8221;
On Thursday at the White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/karoline-leavitt-jill-biden-needs-to-answer-for-husbands-health-cover-up">said that Jill Biden should</a> “certainly” speak openly about her husband’s infirmities.
“I think, frankly, the former first lady should certainly speak up about what she saw in regards to her husband and when she saw it and what she knew,” Leavitt said, adding, “because I think anybody looking again at the videos and photo evidence of Joe Biden with your own eyes and a little bit of common sense can see this was a clear cover-up. Jill Biden was certainly complicit in that cover-up.”
“There’s documentation, video evidence of her clearly shielding her husband away from the cameras. They were just on ‘The View’ last week. She was saying everything is fine,” Leavitt told reporters. “She’s still lying to the American people. She still thinks the American public are so stupid that they’re going to believe her lies, and, frankly, it’s insulting and she needs to answer for it.”

The Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the Trump administration can revoke protected status for more than 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela from deportations.
The unsigned decision was not a final ruling on the case, but it will allow the Trump administration to continue its mass deportation efforts as an appeal of the president&#8217;s order plays out in the courts, The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/us/politics/trump-immigration-supreme-court.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor signed onto a written dissent, arguing that the court&#8217;s decision would have “the devastating consequences of allowing the government to precipitously upend the lives and livelihoods of nearly half a million noncitizens while their legal claims are pending.&#8221;
The ruling centers on former President Joe Biden&#8217;s humanitarian parole program that allowed migrants from certain countries facing instability to enter the United States and quickly receive work authorization. On day one in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order calling for the end of the migrant parole program, and the Department of Homeland Security responded by moving to terminate the program in March, Reuters <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-revokes-legal-status-530000-cubans-haitians-nicaraguans-venezuelans-2025-03-21/">reported</a>.
Biden opened up the United States to thousands of Venezuelans in 2022 and then to Cubans, Haitians, and Nicaraguans in 2023. After Trump moved to revoke the protected status for these migrants, lawyers representing many of the migrants sued, arguing that Trump&#8217;s &#8220;actions are not only illegal, but shockingly callous.&#8221; Biden&#8217;s parole program also extended to around 240,000 Ukrainians, but the Trump administration has not yet sought to revoke protected status for the Ukrainians fleeing the war.
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=memorial&amp;utm_content=editorialmemorialday&amp;_gl=1*1qdq03s*_gcl_au*MTYyNDg0MTE0OS4xNzQxODk4NTMz*_ga*MTEzOTk1NjkxNi4xNzI2MzI1MDQz*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*czE3NDgzNzg2NDgkbzEwMDMkZzEkdDE3NDgzODEwMTckajU4JGwwJGgw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a>
The Trump administration&#8217;s move to terminate the parole program was paused by a federal judge in Massachusetts in March, and that pause was upheld by an appeals court earlier this month. Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued in a May 8 emergency application to the Supreme Court that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has “broad discretion over categories of immigration determinations” and has the power to revoke the protected status recognized under Biden&#8217;s parole program, according to the Times.
Sauer <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24/24A1079/358354/20250508121118618_Kristi_Noem_v_Svitlana_Doe_et_al_%20application_stay.pdf">wrote</a> that the district court upended &#8220;critical immigration policies that are carefully calibrated to deter illegal entry, vitiating core Executive Branch prerogatives, and undoing democratically approved policies that featured heavily in the November election.&#8221;
The Supreme Court&#8217;s Friday decision is its second ruling this month that allows Trump to seek the removal of migrants from the United States as an appeals process plays out. On May 19, the Supreme Court <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/scotus-allows-trump-to-end-temporary-protected-status-for-certain-migrants">ruled</a> 8-1 that the Trump administration can remove Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for around 350,000 Venezuelan migrants who were allowed to remain in the United States under the Biden administration.

Jill Biden should testify to what she knew about her husband’s mental and physical health and when she knew it, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
Leavitt ripped into the former first lady during a press briefing on Thursday after she fielded a question about Congressional Republicans considering subpoenas for former President Joe Biden’s inner circle. The White House press secretary said Jill Biden should “certainly” speak openly about her husband’s infirmities.
“I think, frankly, the former first lady should certainly speak up about what she saw in regards to her husband and when she saw it and what she knew,” said Leavitt, adding, “because I think anybody looking again at the videos and photo evidence of Joe Biden with your own eyes and a little bit of common sense can see this was a clear cover-up.

Republican Rep. James Comer (KY), who chairs the House Oversight Committee, suggested on Wednesday night that both Bidens and former Chief of Staff Ron Klain could receive subpoenas to testify on the former president’s use of an autopen to sign official documents.
“Wherever the trail leads is where we’re going to bring them in. And look, I would love to ask Joe Biden a lot of questions, but right now, we’re starting with the staffers who are operating the autopen,” <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/house/3425161/james-comer-teases-joe-jill-biden-subpoena-autopen/">said</a> Comer on Fox News’ &#8220;Hannity.&#8221;

Biden’s diagnosis of prostate cancer earlier this month has added to the debate around his health and whether he was fit to sit as President of the United States. It has also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/why-a-top-cancer-doctor-says-bidens-diagnosis-story-doesnt-add-up">added</a> to the questions around who knew what about the former president’s health, and how widespread the cover-up was to keep the severity of Biden’s frail state hidden from the American people.
A new House resolution would <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gop-proposal-panel-biden-health-cover-up">create</a> a committee to probe the questions and cover-up around the former president’s health.
