Former Obama Aides Go Public, Slam Cover-Up Of Biden Mental Decline

Top allies of former President Barack Obama are finally breaking their silence — and what they’re revealing about Joe Biden’s condition in office is nothing short of damning.

In a stunning rebuke aired on CNN’s State of the Union, former Obama advisor Van Jones blasted Biden’s inner circle for what he described as a coordinated cover-up of the president’s physical and cognitive decline. Referencing explosive allegations from Original Sin, a new book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, Jones accused Biden’s team of actively deceiving the American public.

“That wasn’t the first time he was in that condition,” Jones said. “The book makes it very, very clear there are people who knew and said nothing. And that is a crime against this republic.”

Jones, once a loyal member of the Obama-Biden White House, didn’t hold back. “I love Joe Biden… but I was shocked to see his condition,” he said. “And so was the world.”

The allegations mirror mounting public concerns about Biden’s fitness during his final year in office, culminating in what many are now calling one of the most extensive political cover-ups in modern American history.

The scandal deepens further with revelations from former Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett, co-host of the influential Pod Save America podcast. In a frank conversation with Jon Stewart, Lovett admitted he intentionally concealed his concerns about Biden’s mental state during the 2024 campaign.

“I remember feeling I want to talk about this as a huge liability,” Lovett confessed. “But… if Joe Biden is the candidate, I want him to f—— win.”

He admitted the real motivation was political — avoiding giving ammunition to conservatives, even at the cost of public transparency. Lovett even recalled a White House meeting with Biden in April 2024 that left him and his co-hosts “deeply disturbed,” according to Original Sin, describing the president as “rambling” and “incoherent.”

Democrats may have hoped these revelations would stay buried. But the combination of public confessions from Obama alumni and the media firestorm around Original Sin is making that impossible. According to Tapper and Thompson, Biden’s staff routinely downplayed or concealed health issues — even as the president’s ability to fulfill his duties came under serious question.

And the concerns aren’t just rhetorical. As more reports surface about the use of an autopen during Biden’s final year, questions of legitimacy are now being raised about official acts — including controversial last-minute pardons — that may have been rubber-stamped without Biden’s direct involvement.

Republicans are already ramping up calls for an investigation.

“If Biden wasn’t fully in control, who was?” asked one senior GOP aide. “We need to know who was making executive decisions — and what else was hidden from the American people.”

With President Donald J. Trump back in office and empowered by full GOP control in Washington, many expect a full accounting is on the horizon.

The dam has broken. The Democrats' illusion of unity is crumbling. And the American people deserve the truth — not just about Joe Biden’s fitness for office, but about the partisan machine that protected him at all costs.
