A new book titled "Original Sin" alleges that a White House aide attempted to intimidate a reporter investigating President Biden's cognitive abilities. According to the book, Steve Ricchetti, a close advisor to Biden, engaged in what the author describes as a "tacit threat" to dissuade the reporter from pursuing the story.
The book claims the Biden administration actively worked to control the narrative surrounding the president's health and mental acuity. This alleged attempt to silence the reporter occurred before the publication of a major article in the Wall Street Journal examining concerns about Biden's age and fitness for office. Ricchetti reportedly denied claims of mental decline to the reporter.
The allegations raise questions about the transparency of the Biden administration and its handling of concerns about the president's ability to perform his duties. Critics argue that the public has a right to know about the health of their leaders, while supporters defend the administration's efforts to protect the president from what they see as politically motivated attacks.
