During a recent rally, former President Donald Trump made unsubstantiated claims about President Joe Biden's health, suggesting that Biden had secretly battled cancer and that this information was deliberately hidden from the public. Trump did not provide any evidence to support his assertion.
A review of President Biden's publicly available medical records, released by his physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, reveals a history of non-melanoma skin cancers, which were treated with Mohs surgery. These records do not indicate any diagnosis of prostate cancer or any other serious illness that would align with Trump's claim.
White House officials have not responded directly to Trump's comments. However, medical experts have cautioned against spreading misinformation about health conditions, particularly when it is politically motivated. This incident highlights the ongoing issue of unsubstantiated claims and misinformation in the political sphere.
Trump Claims Biden Hid Cancer Diagnosis; No Evidence Found
Former President Trump recently suggested that President Biden had secretly battled cancer, implying the information was deliberately withheld from the public. However, there is no evidence to support this claim. Biden's medical records, released by his physician, detail past treatments for non-melanoma skin cancers but show no indication of prostate cancer or other serious illnesses. This statement follows a pattern of unsubstantiated claims made by Trump regarding his political opponents.
