As extra experiences emerge about former President Biden’s alleged cognitive decline all over his time in place of job, a Republican senator has made an explosive new declare: that Biden would every now and then get misplaced in a closet within the White House whilst serving as commander-in-chief.
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., made the lovely declare on “Hannity” Friday, mentioning an unnamed Secret Service whistleblower who Hawley stated used to be assigned to Biden.
“He [Secret Service member] told me that Biden used to get lost in his closet in the mornings in the White House,” Hawley stated. “I mean, the guy literally stumbling around in the White House residence couldn’t find his way out of his own closet. The president of the United States. I mean, this is outrageous. We were lied to.”

BIDEN FAMILY MISLED PUBLIC, CONCEALED DETAILS ON SON BEAU’S CANCER DIAGNOSIS, NEW BOOK SAYS
Hawley stated the claims have been made to him whilst the senator used to be investigating the tried assassination of Trump at a presidential marketing campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July. A gunman’s bullet grazed the ear of then-candidate Trump whilst one attendee, Corey Comperatore, used to be fatally struck.
Hawley stated the brewing scandal in regards to the Biden management’s use of an autopen to signal govt orders quantities to “one of the worst constitutional crises of our country’s history.”
“We need to find out who actually signed off, so to speak, on all those autopen signatures and all of those pardons and all of those clemencies.”

BIDEN SAYS HE COULD ‘BEAT THE HELL OUT OF’ AUTHORS OF NEW BOOK ARGUING HIS COGNITIVE DECLINE
“It’s a rogue’s gallery of crooks and criminals and terrible people, rapists and others, I mean who actually was doing that, we know it wasn’t Biden, he didn’t know anything about it. “we’ve were given to determine who used to be in truth in fee cos it positive as heck wasn’t Joe Biden.”
President Trump on Friday said the autopen is going to become “probably the most nice scandals of all time” and said he can’t’ believe that a competent Biden would have ever signed off on many of his executive orders, particularly in terms of the border.

House Republicans, led by Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, launched an investigation earlier this month aimed at determining whether Biden, who was in declining health during the final months of his presidency, was mentally fit to authorize the use of the autopen. Comer said this week he was “open” to dragging Biden before the House to answer questions about the matter if need be.
Last week, Comer sent out letters to five of the former president’s closest confidants, including his former doctor in the White House, seeking further answers about Biden’s cognitive health while in office. All five have made contact with the Oversight Committee, but Comer has threatened subpoena power if they refuse to testify.

Hawley, meanwhile, also railed against left-wing media for failing to press the president or his office on instances of physical and mental lapses Biden showed while in public. The news comes as a new book by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson details the length at which those closest to Biden apparently went to cover up his limitations while in office.
“The press has an enormous function on this… They’re meant to document the reality,” Hawley said. “It’s what you do each and every night time. It isn’t what the liberal media did even though. They bought this nation out for years and so they did it for energy and so they want to be held responsible as neatly.”
