The Bidens haven’t been truthful to the public. And now it’s coming back to bite them.
And the Biden family was caught in a cancer cover-up that is shattering their legacy.
New Book Alleges Biden Family Concealed Beau Biden’s Cancer Diagnosis
A recently released book claims that former President Joe Biden and his late son, Beau Biden, deliberately withheld details and misled the public about Beau’s cancer diagnosis during his tenure as Delaware’s attorney general. The allegations highlight a pattern of secrecy surrounding health issues within the Biden family, according to the authors.
Book Details and Authors
The book, Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, authored by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’s Alex Thompson, was released on Tuesday. It alleges that the Biden family actively chose to keep Beau Biden’s cancer diagnosis confidential while he served as Delaware’s attorney general.
The book states, “Beau’s cancer treatment also demonstrated the Biden’s capacity for denial and the lengths they would go to to avoid transparency about health issues, even when the person in question is an elected official, in this case the sitting attorney general of Delaware.”
Timeline of Beau Biden’s Illness
According to the book, Beau Biden collapsed during a family vacation in the summer of 2013, leading to surgery to remove a brain tumor. By fall 2013, Beau reduced his public appearances and media interviews.
The book notes, “In September, Biden and Beau’s team internally debated how much to disclose about Beau — the vice president’s son and a state’s top law enforcement officer — but ultimately said nothing.” In November 2013, Beau told a local reporter he had been given a “clean bill of health.” However, in February 2014, a neurologist disclosed that a “small lesion” had been removed from Beau’s brain, despite Joe Biden later describing the tumor as larger than a golf ball.
Efforts to Maintain Secrecy
The book details that Beau Biden continued serving as Delaware’s attorney general while undergoing treatments across the country, often using the pseudonym George Lincoln during hospital visits. Beau’s wife, Hallie, reportedly expressed confusion about the decision to keep his declining health private, believing public disclosure could have garnered support.
The book states, “Publicly acknowledging Beau’s illness would make it a reality. It was them against the world.” Neither Hallie Biden nor a spokesperson for former President Biden immediately responded to requests for comment from Fox News Digital.
The book further claims that then-Vice President Joe Biden instructed his staff to mislead the media about his whereabouts. While his team reported he was traveling to Delaware on weekends, he was also visiting Houston, where Beau was receiving treatment. This effort was part of a broader strategy to maintain privacy around Beau’s condition, according to the authors.
Context of Beau Biden’s Death and Broader Claims
Beau Biden died of a glioblastoma brain tumor in May 2015 at age 46. The book situates these allegations within a larger narrative about the 2024 election cycle, claiming that Joe Biden’s team orchestrated a cover-up to conceal the extent of his own cognitive decline during his re-election campaign. This is one of several books addressing Biden’s decision to run in 2024 and his health challenges.
Recent Biden Health Controversy
The book’s release follows former President Biden’s announcement on Sunday that he had been diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer, a claim his office retracted on Tuesday, stating he had never received such a diagnosis. This incident adds context to the book’s allegations about the Biden family’s handling of health-related transparency.
The allegations raise questions about transparency among public officials, particularly when health issues involve elected leaders. The Biden family’s reported reluctance to disclose Beau’s condition may reflect a broader approach to managing public perception, as outlined in the book.
