‘Ex-Aide Ducks Questions On Biden Health Cover-Up’

Anita Dunn, once a key White House figure, dodged a barrage of pointed questions about former President Joe Biden’s health, leaving conservatives fuming over an alleged cover-up, the Daily Caller reported

Her silence before the House Oversight Committee on Thursday speaks volumes about the loyalty—or lack thereof—within Biden’s inner circle. It’s a classic case of stonewalling that only fuels suspicion.

Dunn, the 10th former Biden official grilled by the committee, faced scrutiny over claims the White House hid the former president’s declining physical and mental condition. Fox News correspondent Aishah Hasnie confronted Dunn in congressional halls, pressing for answers on Biden’s fitness and the administration’s secrecy. Dunn’s refusal to engage suggests there’s something to hide—or at least a fear of the truth.

Before Thursday’s testimony, concerns about Biden’s health were brushed off as a “right-wing conspiracy” by Democrats and their media allies. Yet, the narrative crumbled after Biden’s faltering debate performance on June 27, 2024, where his raspy voice and muddled answers shocked viewers. The shift in public perception exposed a carefully curated facade, now under the committee’s microscope.

Questions Met With Silence

Hasnie didn’t hold back, asking Dunn, “Were you against doing a cognitive test for President Biden?” She also probed whether Dunn feared sharing test results or would’ve supported one with a doctor’s approval. Dunn’s mute response to these direct questions reeks of evasion, undermining any claim of transparency.

The Fox News correspondent pushed further, questioning if Dunn thought Biden was fit for another four years. Again, Dunn offered nothing but silence, a choice that conservatives see as an admission of guilt. If Biden were truly capable, why not defend his record with confidence?

Hasnie’s final jab targeted allegations from Anthony Bernal, a former aide to First Lady Jill Biden, who branded Dunn “disloyal” to the Biden family. Dunn’s refusal to address this accusation only deepens the intrigue. Loyalty, it seems, is a one-way street in Biden’s orbit.

White House’s Protective Bubble

Biden’s staff, including Dunn, reportedly shielded him from the press, relying on pre-prepared notes for public events. This overprotective strategy wasn’t about efficiency—it was about control, keeping Biden’s vulnerabilities out of sight. The public deserved better than a curated presidency.

Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s physician, reportedly warned aides that another fall could confine Biden to a wheelchair, according to Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s book “Original Sin.” Such a revelation, if true, demands accountability from those who downplayed Biden’s frailty. The White House’s dismissal of these concerns as conspiracy nonsense now looks like deliberate misdirection.

The Oversight Committee, determined to uncover the truth, subpoenaed Biden’s closest aides and allies. Many, like Bernal, invoked their Fifth Amendment rights, further stoking conservative outrage. If there’s nothing to hide, why the legal barricades?

Committee Digs for Truth

Dunn’s testimony painted a picture of a president making all his own decisions, despite visible signs of aging. Her claim, reported by The Hill, strains credulity when stacked against Biden’s public struggles. Conservatives argue this narrative is less about fact and more about damage control.

The committee’s investigation isn’t just about Biden’s health—it’s about trust. Aides who shielded Biden’s condition betrayed the public’s right to know, prioritizing political optics over honesty. This isn’t governance; it’s manipulation.

Hasnie’s questions cut to the core: why avoid cognitive testing if Biden was fit to lead? Dunn’s silence suggests either complicity or cowardice, neither of which inspires confidence. The American people deserve leaders who face scrutiny, not dodge it.

Public Trust Eroded

The White House’s pre-2024 election dismissal of health concerns as a “right-wing conspiracy” now looks like a coordinated effort to mislead. Biden’s debate performance shattered that narrative, exposing a truth conservatives had long suspected. The cover-up, if proven, undermines the integrity of those entrusted with power.

Dunn’s refusal to answer Hasnie’s questions isn’t just a personal failure—it’s a symptom of a broader culture of secrecy. Conservatives see this as emblematic of a progressive agenda that values control over candor. The Oversight Committee’s work is far from over.

As the investigation unfolds, one thing is clear: silence isn’t an answer—it’s a red flag. Biden’s aides, including Dunn, owe the public transparency, not deflections. America’s trust hangs in the balance, and conservatives won’t let this story fade quietly.
