GOP senators plan hearing on Biden’s perceived cognitive decline
- Senators Eric Schmitt and John Cornyn, both Republicans, will lead a Senate Judiciary session on June 18, 2025, focused on examining allegations that efforts were made to conceal former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline during his time in office.
- The hearing follows allegations that Biden's aides, family, and media concealed his mental fitness, raising concerns about who managed executive decisions amid his decline.
- The probe parallels Donald Trump's prior claims about Biden's fitness and includes criticism of Biden's use of an autopen, a device to sign documents automatically, suggesting limited involvement.
- A months-long Wall Street Journal investigation with over 45 sources described Biden as a 'well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory' and noted observed cognitive changes, while Biden denied these claims.
- The hearing may deepen partisan scrutiny of Biden's health, reflecting broader Republican efforts to challenge his administration, while critics argue the probe lacks evidence and caution against speculation.
