A Secret Service whistleblower has reportedly told Republican Senator Josh Hawley that Joe Biden would sometimes get lost in his own closet at the White House. The claim, which adds to growing concerns about the former president’s mental sharpness, was shared by Hawley during an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity.
“He told me that Biden used to get lost in his closet in the mornings at the White House,” Hawley said. “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,” he added.
Hawley, a close ally of Donald Trump and a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the information came from a Secret Service agent who had been part of Biden’s detail.
Hawley used the story to highlight what he called a growing scandal surrounding Biden’s cognitive state while in office. “This is outrageous. We were lied to,” he said.
The White House has not responded to the claim. A spokesperson for Biden did not return a request for comment.
Questions about Biden’s mental fitness have been around for a while, but they have intensified in recent weeks following the release of Original Sin, a book by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson.
