Bill Clinton Denies Biden Cognitive Decline Claims

Former President Bill Clinton strongly defended President Joe Biden's cognitive abilities during a CBS Sunday Morning interview, denying reports of decline despite allegations detailed in the book "Original Sin" by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson. Clinton stated he had never seen any signs suggesting Biden was unfit to run for president and described Biden as being "always on top of his briefs." He also expressed skepticism toward the book, citing political motivations behind the criticism and declining to read it. Biden himself has denied the claims, which stem from anonymous White House insiders alleging mental and physical deterioration during his presidency. Clinton's defense comes amid ongoing debates about Biden's health and fitness for office, with Clinton highlighting concerns more related to the age required to perform presidential duties than any observed cognitive issues. Critics have challenged Clinton's assertions, suggesting a partisan bias, but Clinton maintained his position that Biden was a good president and in good shape.
