The release of Joe Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur is raising more questions about Jill Biden's role in concealing the former president's cognitive decline from the public.
The Biden administration and its attorney general, Merrick Garland, fought to suppress the shocking audio in the lead-up to Biden's doomed 2024 re-election effort.
The recording adds depth to Hur's conclusion that Biden was unfit to stand trial on charges of mishandling classified documents.
At the time, Democrats attacked Hur as a political hack and insisted that Biden was cognitively fit - but Democrats later turned on Biden and his family after his infamous debate meltdown on CNN.
Republicans who demanded the Biden-Hur tapes said they were necessary for transparency, after the Biden administration begrudgingly shared a transcript. Garland said releasing the audio would endanger law enforcement efforts in the future.
Biden "struggled to recall when his son died, when he left office as vice president, what year Donald Trump was elected or why he had classified documents he shouldn't have had," according to Axios, which is promoting a new book co-authored with CNN's Jake Tapper on the conspiracy to shield Biden from the public.
“You know, if I ran again I’d be running for president, and so what was happening though — What month did Beau die? Oh, God, May 30? Was it 2015 he died? I think it’s 2015," Biden said.
“Trump gets elected in November of 2017?” Biden asked at another point.
The full extent of Biden's cognitive decline was exposed irrevocably in his only presidential debate against President Trump last year.
Biden's bulging stare and hoarse, garbled speech caused panic among his former Democratic and media allies, who began pressuring him to end his campaign as his wife and family rallied to his defense.
Biden's advanced prostate cancer diagnosis has put his failed re-election effort in a sobering new perspective, and it is almost certain to complicate belated efforts by the liberal media to scrutinize Biden's cognitive decline, which was almost totally ignored by the press while he was still president.
While the sad news has brought an outpouring of sympathy across party lines, it has also led to speculation about what, if any, health details might have been withheld from the public by Biden's family.
“What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???" Donald Trump Jr. wrote on X.
President Trump is considering a plan to relocate 1 million people from Gaza to northern Africa as Israel ramps up its military offensive in the Hamas-ruled territory.
As reported by NBC, Trump is not ruling out transferring 1 million Gazans to Libya in exchange for freeing up billions in funds frozen by the United States.
The plan is "under serious enough consideration that the administration has discussed it with Libya’s leadership," according to NBC.
A National Security Council spokesperson denied any such plans, calling them unrealistic.
“The situation on the ground is untenable for such a plan. Such a plan was not discussed and makes no sense,” a National Security Spokesperson said.
Any attempt to relocate a million people would face huge logistical challenges. According to NBC, the Trump administration is considering stipends or free housing to encourage Gazans to relocate, and all methods of transportation are being looked at.
Libya has experienced continuous unrest political instability since the violent overthrow of Muammar Ghaddafi in 2011. After two civil wars, the country is ruled by two competing factions.
No final decision has been made on relocating Gazans, but "Israel has been kept informed of the administration’s discussions," sources told NBC.
The idea echoes Trump's controversial proposal from earlier in the year to take over and develop heavily bombed Gaza into the "Riviera of the Middle East."
Trump's idea was shot down by Palestine's Arab neighbors, which have long resisted taking in Palestinian refugees, who they fear will destabilize their countries. Many Arabs also view the potential expulsion of Palestinians as a form of ethnic cleansing.
While a relocation policy would be favored by Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump has also put distance between himself and Israel as its war with Hamas has dragged on.
Israel has been escalating its bombing of Gaza in what prime minister Netanyahu has called a final push to demolish Hamas.
Trump notably did not visit Israel during a lavish tour of the Arab Gulf states last week that saw Trump ink billions of dollars in deals. He also expressed concern about people "starving" in Gaza, which has been under an Israeli blockade.
According to NBC, Trump officials are also eyeing war-torn Syria as a possible new home for Gazans. In a political shockwave, Trump met with Syria's new president, Ahmad al-Sharaa, last week and announced an end to U.S. sanctions to give Syria a "chance at peace."
Barack Obama visited Poland just days before a pivotal presidential election to push his vision of Europe's future.
Former State Department Official Mike Benz accused Obama and George Soros of trying to "stamp out populism" in Poland, a NATO ally that has largely resisted the woke politics of its Western European neighbors.
“The problem is these folks don’t want to go along with the NATO agenda there. They don’t want endless war. They don’t want endless migration,” Benz told Real America's Voice.
Just days before Poland's presidential election, Obama spoke to a crowd in Poznań. He praised the pro-European Union government led by prime minister Donald Tusk, whose election in 2023 ousted the conservative Law and Justice Party.
Liberal Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski, a Tusk ally, edged out conservative historian and Law and Justice candidate Karol Nawrocki in the first round of Poland's presidential election, held Sunday. Both candidates are headed to a pivotal runoff on June 1.
According to Benz, globalists are meddling in Polish politics with a familiar strategy perfected in Romania, where groups tied to George Soros have infiltrated government institutions in the name of "civil society."
"George Soros funded the very first NGO that spawned 1,000 other NGOs in the new Romania post-Cold War,” Benz told host Jack Posobiec. “The USAID, its rule of law program, effectively wrote the Romanian constitution and then wrote all the amendments in order to organize its entire judicial structure."
Benz also pointed to former Obama official Norm Eisen, who is pushing for judicial reforms in Poland. Eisen played a key role in the failed effort to destroy President Trump with lawfare.
"And Norm Eisen is on tape bragging about him pursuing legal action inside of Poland against the Law and Justice Party," Benz said.
While speaking at the Impact Congress in Poznań last week, Obama praised Poland's support of refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine, calling it an example of Poland's commitment to "democracy."
"When Americans see the incredible generosity shown by Poland to those fleeing war, it gives them hope," he said. "This moment teaches us that progress in democracy, human rights, and all these great efforts cannot be the work of the United States alone."
Indeed, Poland has taken in one million refugees since the conflict began, but support of refugees is falling sharply.
The results of Sunday's election in Poland reflect a nation divided between urban progressives and nationalists who champion Poland's traditional Catholic identity and who are strongly opposed to mass immigration. Polish conservatives have looked to President Trump as an inspiration in the struggle to preserve their country's sovereignty. Indeed, Nawrocki met with Trump in the White House earlier this month.
The liberal Trzaskowski is an advocate of the progressive, LGBT ideology that finds more support in Poland's large cities. In an echo of Warsaw's communist past, he removed crosses from public buildings in the capital last year.

FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino are facing fierce criticism for asserting convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein indeed killed himself in jail, and also downplaying concerns about the assassination attempts on President Donald Trump.
As WorldNetDaily reported, Maria Bartiromo of Fox News on "Sunday Morning Futures" asked both officials why many Americans don't buy the government assertion that Epstein committed suicide in a New York City holding facility.
"They have a right to their opinion," Patel said, "but as someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor who's been in that prison system, who's been in the Metropolitan Detention Center, who's been in segregated housing, you know a suicide when you see one, and that's what that was."
Bongino said: "He killed himself. I've seen the whole file. He killed himself."
Regarding the case of notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Bartiromo asked both officials why many Americans don't buy the government assertion that Epstein killed himself in a New York City jail.
"I call bullsh**," said Infowars host Alex Jones.
"Overall, I think Kash Patel and Dan Bongino are doing a great job, but on this claim that Epstein's death is not a cover-up I call bullsh**."
Jones posted a lengthy comment on X, indicating: "EPSTEIN confirmed a suic*de? Maria sits down with FBI's Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, who claim Epstein did, in fact, commit suic*de. Now, let's get into why people do not believe this theory."
Number one, Maurene Comey, Fmr. disgraced FBI Dir. James Comey's daughter was in charge of Epstein's alleged suic*de investigation, which isn't a good start, and Maurene allegedly lost the jailhouse CCTV tapes as a result of a technical error.
Then on top of the "lost/erased tapes," through a "technical error," both security guards "fell asleep," who were supposed to be watching Epstein's cell, who was on 24hr surveillance for suicide watch which is standard procedure in every jail and being a high-profile prisoner.
There are rumors and a video you can search which claims nitrous oxide was used to knock the guards out, which then Epstein was taken out by another individual. Others claim the guards were paid not to talk.
Either way, for the tapes to mysteriously go missing or erased and to have not one, but TWO guards both fall asleep coincidentally, the odds of both of these happenings to occur at the same time in the same place are astronomical.
We know the Comey's are corrupt. James Comey just sent out a dogwhistle to have our sitting president assassinated. Why do you think he would do that? What [do] Comey, the Clintons, and the Obamas all have to hide? Are you paying attention to Trump's recent posts? Are you starting to connect the dots? Remember, there are no coincidences.
Regarding the two attempts on Trump's life, Patel cited two reasons for the lack of specific details released.
"Two open, ongoing prosecutions," he said. 'Two of the investigations are obviously closed because the individuals are dead, but there's two live prosecutions … so we can't get ahead of the federal court case."
"We have personally invested our time in making sure that we have looked at any possible international connections to terrorism and adversaries alike."
"Kash is not kidding," said Bongino. "We've been personally briefed extensively on every single detail, nugget, tendril of this case."
He said he's aware many feel the federal government is hiding something about the assassination attempts.
"I'm not going to tell people what they want to hear. I'm going to tell you the truth, and whether you like it or not is up to you," Bongino explained.
"In some of these cases, the 'there' you're looking for is not there. And I know people, I get it, I understand. It's not there. If it was there, we would have told you."
Jim Hoft at the Gateway Pundit reported: "This is a stunning reversal from Bongino's previous whistleblowing on Secret Service failures. Just last year, he blew the lid off the culture of corruption in the Secret Service."
"Thomas Crooks was able to do the following on July 13:
The Gateway Pundit added: "Meanwhile, new court documents were released that reveal would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh was in talks to purchase a Stinger Missile to take out Trump here in the U.S.
"A Stinger missile reportedly costs from $119,000 to $120,000. A Stinger missile costs anywhere from $50,000 to $80,000 on the black market. … [C]ourt documents reveal that Routh was communicating with someone he 'believed to be a Ukrainian with access to military weapons.'"

Wendy McMahon, the president and CEO of CBS News and Stations, is quitting the network amid an ongoing legal battle with President Donald Trump over a "60 Minutes" interview that allegedly was deceptively edited to favor former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 White House race.
"Today, I am stepping down from my position as president and CEO of CBS News and Stations and CBS Media Ventures," McMahon wrote in a memo to staff on Monday.
"It's become clear that the company and I do not agree on the path forward. It's time for me to move on and for this organization to move forward with new leadership. I have spent the last few months shoring up our businesses and making sure the right leaders are in place; and I have no doubt they will continue to set the standard."
McMahon added: "This has been one of the most meaningful chapters in my career. Leading this extraordinary organization has been the honor of a lifetime because I got to work alongside all of you. Your commitment to truth, fairness and the highest standards is unassailable … At the same time, the past few months have been challenging."
Her departure follows that of Bill Owens, "60 Minutes" executive producer, who recently left the news program complaining about the show's editorial independence.
Paramount Global President George Cheeks, the head of CBS' parent company, thanked McMahon for her service.
"On a personal note, I want to thank Wendy for her partnership over the past four years," Cheeks wrote.
"Under her leadership, the competitive position and culture at our television stations have improved dramatically, and we've expanded local news significantly. Our streaming news platforms – national and local – are stronger and growing, with digital extensions now in place for several of our flagship CBS News broadcasts."
On May 7, as WorldNetDaily reported, Trump expressed outrage at CBS News and its "60 Minutes" program being nominated for an Emmy award for its interview with Harris.
"In a total slap in the face to anyone who believes in TRUTH and Honest Journalism, this Fake News Puff Piece has now been nominated for an award by the totally discredited Emmys," Trump posted on Truth Social.
"Did 60 Minutes and its Corporate Parents apply to get an Emmy for an illegally falsified interview, or did other Fake Outlets nominate them for this dubious 'honor'?
"These antics are why the American People have no trust in the Press, and demand that the Media, very much including 60 Minutes, CBS, and its owners, be held responsible for their corruption and lies, which is exactly what we are doing in Court!"
The president also noted: "The Election Interfering 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, which aired on CBS just before Election Day and deep into Early Voting, turned out to be much worse than expected, with her answers being unlawfully fixed, manipulated, and doctored throughout by CBS, in order to try and make Kamala appear at least somewhat coherent."
Trump has already sued the network, seeking $20 billion for what he alleged was election interference, and as WorldNetDaily reported, mediation talks to settle the suit were said to begin recently.
A source familiar with the inner workings of CBS News told Fox News Digital: "The irony is, some folks at '60 Minutes' are popping champagne over an Emmy nomination – for the same interview that landed them in legal hot water. It's a reminder that these awards are voted on by other journalists, not the public, not their bosses – and certainly not lawyers."
Three family members are dead and a toddler is injured after being struck by a train when they were on or near a bridge Sunday night in Ohio.
A mother, age 58, daughter, age 38, and five-year-old were killed in Fremont close to the Miles Newton Bridge, which crosses over the Sandusky River.
The five-year-old was thrown into the river when the collision happened, and her body was found in the river on Monday around noon after dive teams and rescue boats spent all night and morning searching for her.
A 14-month-old female child was also injured and was taken to the hospital.
The family was reportedly on a fishing trip in the area and may not have known that a train would come through the area over the bridge.
They lived in Fort Wayne, Indiana and are some of the many people who come to the area to fish during white bass season.
“This is a very very unfortunate tragedy that has hit our community,” Mayor Danny Sanchez told reporters during a press conference about the accident.
Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers, deputies from Ottawa County and Sandusky County sheriff’s departments, and the Toledo Fire and Rescue Department were all involved in the response to the collision and search for the missing girl.
Police declared the scene a "mass casualty accident."
It wasn't typical of other recent mass casualty incidents, though, which are not accidents but are typically caused by a shooter or faulty operator.
Norfolk Southern said in a statement about the incident:
We are deeply saddened by this tragedy and our hearts are with those affected, their loved ones, and the community during this difficult time. We are working closely with local authorities on their investigation.
There is no indication that the train was at fault in the incident, since the bridge was not normally used by pedestrians.
The Federal Railroad Administration said of the incident, "The Federal Railroad Administration extends our deepest sympathies to those affected by this terrible event. This tragedy is a vivid reminder of the dangers of trespassing on railroad property and we hope this extremely unfortunate occurrence will raise public awareness of such dangers."
It is likely going to take some time to sort out what exactly led the family to be on the bridge and how they came to be struck by the train. Until then, the community will be in shock and mourning.
After reviewing files related to the death of Jeffrey Epstein in 2019 a Manhattan prison, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said he believes Epstein did kill himself as the medical examiner ruled at the time.
“I have reviewed the case. Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. There’s no evidence in the case file indicating otherwise,” Bongino posted on X.
Speculation has raged for years about Epstein's real cause of death. Conspiracy theorists have said almost since it happened that someone killed him to prevent revelations about who participated with him in the sexual abuse and trafficking of young girls at his compound.
It even became an iconic tagline added to the end of a statement whenever anyone wanted to debunk a talking point: "And Epstein didn't kill himself."
But Bongino seemed pretty sure in his declaration, and director Kash Patel agreed. “I’m not asking you to believe me, or not, " Bongino said. "I’m telling you what exists, and what doesn’t. If new evidence surfaces, I’m happy to reevaluate.”
Theories have run rampant about what happened the night of Epstein's death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center after it was discovered that the guards supposed to be monitoring him on suicide watch failed to do their jobs.
Epstein didn't have a cellmate, and the guards were working overtime and lied on their logs about whether they checked on him when they were supposed to. Cameras also malfunctioned that could have caught his actions.
Apparently, Epstein saw their negligence as a chance to end his life, as he had allegedly wanted to do since being put in the prison.
When no one was looking on that night in August 2019, Epstein allegedly took the bed linens and made a noose, from which he hung himself.
It does sound a bit fantastical, but could it have happened that way? Sure.
Some information has come out about some high-profile people who were involved with Epstein, including Prince Andrew and former President Bill Clinton.
Surprisingly, however, no definitive proof that they had sex with minors has caught on so far, and no charges have succeeded against figures like Clinton and the prince.
The whole Epstein mess has mostly stayed in the shadows, shrouded in questions but without too many definitive answers.
Who knows what other political figures may be desperate to keep their involvement with this disgusting human being under wraps, or what lengths they might have gone to in order to do so?
Donald Trump Jr. became the first public figure on Sunday to break an hours-old "truce" between Republicans and Democrats that began after former President Joe Biden's metastatic prostate cancer diagnosis when he called out 'Dr. Jill Biden' for missing the fact that her husband was ill with cancer.
"What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???" Trump Jr. captioned a repost of a doctor's post calling the missed diagnosis "malpractice."

The post came just hours after President Donald Trump wished Biden well on Sunday, publicly confirming the diagnosis that was apparently first made on Friday.
"Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. "We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery."
Trump Jr. posted a similar message on X right after the announcement: "BREAKING: Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Politics aside, we wish him a speedy recovery!"
But it didn't take long for politics to creep back in, after a number of medical professionals questioned how the cancer could have gotten so bad without anyone catching it.
The questions are valid. Apparently, anyone over 80 is tested for prostate cancer. Why wasn't Biden tested?
Like Dr. Quay posted, "It is highly likely he was carrying a diagnosis of prostate cancer throughout his White House tenure and the American people were uninformed."
Another post by Trump Jr. hearkened back to two years ago when Biden said during a speech that he had cancer.
At the time, the White House and the media called it a "gaffe" and said that he misspoke, but questions linger about whether he just said what was true but that was being covered up until now.
It was further suggested in the comments of Trump Jr.'s post that the breaking news of the diagnosis may have been a "Wag the Dog" attempt to distract from increasing reports that Biden had dementia while president.
It's not completely inappropriate to ask these questions when the facts seem incongruous and don't seem to make sense.
It is possible to wish Biden well in his recovery while at the same time wondering if the truth about the diagnosis had been covered up for Democrats' political advantage.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is departing its long-standing headquarters, the J. Edgar Hoover Building in Washington, D.C., citing safety concerns for its workforce, Breitbart reported.
In an initiative spearheaded by Director Kash Patel, the agency plans to transfer 1,500 employees to various locations across the United States as part of a larger focus on workforce distribution and infrastructure demands.
During an interview with Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo, Director Patel disclosed the plans. The announcement highlighted the deteriorating state of the building, which had been a concern for several years.
"I didn’t know that I was going to do this, but I’m going to announce on your show anyway," Patel stated, emphasizing the need to relocate due to safety issues.
The announcement comes after many years of discussions about the building's condition. The J. Edgar Hoover Building has been deemed in poor shape since at least 2013, and efforts to find a new headquarters have been a decade-long endeavor.
By 2023, the General Services Administration had settled on Greenbelt, Maryland, as a suitable location for the new headquarters.
However, plans to relocate to Greenbelt faced setbacks in March. Former President Donald Trump halted the move, shifting the focus back to reconstructing the existing site. This decision stalled progress, but the current initiative seeks to address both logistical and workforce needs in new ways.
Director Patel's plans are not merely about moving personnel to new locations. The director noted that the aim is to enhance the potential for aspiring FBI agents and analysts by placing them in diverse regions. "But we want the American men and women to know if you’re going to come work at the premier law enforcement agency in the world, we’re going to give you a building that’s commensurate with that, and that’s not this place," Patel remarked, emphasizing the importance of providing quality work environments.
Currently, the FBI employs 38,000 people when fully staffed, with 11,000 positioned within 50 miles of the nation's capital. As Patel pointed out, a large portion of the workforce being concentrated in one area seems disproportionate given crime distribution nationwide. "A third of the crime doesn’t happen here," Patel explained, underscoring the necessity of redistributing resources.
By transferring 1,500 employees across the United States, the bureau intends to increase its regional capacities. Patel mentioned that "every state is getting a plus-up," suggesting a more equitable distribution of manpower across the country. This strategy is envisioned to enhance the agency’s ability to tackle crime on a broader scale.
Beyond addressing current infrastructure challenges, Patel's vision seeks to inspire the next generation of FBI professionals. He conveyed that redistributing personnel will motivate people to join the bureau, driven by the mission to fight violent crime nationwide. Patel said, "We inspire folks in America to become intel analysts and agents."
Looking forward, the move raises questions about the future of the J. Edgar Hoover Building site. There's recognition of the building's legacy, but the current focus is on ensuring both safety and efficiency for the FBI's operations moving forward.
Reflecting on the decision, Patel’s approach showcases an effort to modernize the bureau’s approach, aligning it with contemporary needs and expectations. The broader implications of this move could signal similar shifts within other federal entities, reconsidering their operational bases and workforce distributions.
Ultimately, Director Patel's announcement marks a significant step in addressing persistent challenges within the FBI. As the agency continues to uphold its mission of law enforcement and national security, these changes reflect an adaptive strategy in a dynamic environment.
Chelsea Clinton doesn't make the headlines as much as her mother and father typically do, but over the past week, that changed, as she now faces a legal predicament.
According to New York Post, Chelsea, who backed a multi-million dollar maternity start-up that promised to revolutionize the way women give birth, has been slapped with yet another massive lawsuit.
The lawsuit, which is the second in as many years, alleges malpractice, reports noted.
According to court papers filed in New York State Supreme Court in March, the plaintiff alleged the clinic was "negligently acting outside the applicable standard of care."
The plaintiff, Vantisha Knowles, a realtor who visited one of the midwife clinics, apparently suffered the incident while attempt to give birth to her second child.
The Post noted:
Oula — which provides midwife care from four boutique clinics in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Norwalk, Conn. — is being sued by Vantisha Knowles for “negligently acting outside the applicable standard of care,” according to court papers filed in New York State Supreme Court in March.
Vantisha claimed that the clinic was good on the prenatal side, but when it came time to actually give birth to the child, it turned into a "traumatic experience."
"They basically rushed me through labor and did a C-section," she told the Post in an exclusive interview.
The outlet added:
In her complaint is says Knowles “sustained grave and permanent injuries” during the C-section, without going into specifics.
Speaking to The Post, Knowles says after getting home, after she called Oula to describe her injuries “they just told me to go to emergency. They had not solutions for me. Why couldn’t I just go through them?”
"They just don't care," she continued, adding that she ended up needing a blood transfusion.
Court documents added, "The defendants, their agents, and/or employees failed to provide reasonable medical care and deviated from accepted medical practice in the care, treatment, evaluation, management, and services provided to the plaintiff."
The clinic was hit by a lawsuit in 2023 "by a Brooklyn couple who claimed its negligence led to their baby being born badly brain-damaged. That lawsuit is ongoing, court records show."
One source familiar with the inner workings of the clinic reportedly said, "They’re growing fast, but they don’t seem to understand their own business."
Midwives keep leaving the clinic as they're reportedly scared of being hit with malpractice lawsuits.
