CNN’s Tapper Reveals New Details from His Book on Biden: ‘In Meetings, Biden Would Occasionally Be Mumbling and Not Making Much Sense’

EXCERPT:

TAPPER: “We’re back with breaking news in our politics lead and a brand new excerpt from my upcoming book with Axios’ Alex Thompson. It’s called Original Sin. It’s coming out next Tuesday, May 20th. Right now, we’re going to reveal some new details about how some of the most important figures in the Biden Administration were kept away from President Biden during the second half of his term. We spoke with three different cabinet secretaries, who told us that Biden’s inner circle shielded the president from them in 2023 and 2024. The cabinet secretaries were no longer even directly briefing the president in any regular way. Instead, they briefed senior White House aides who would then speak to Biden. And in the rare instances these secretaries did see him, one cabinet secretary told me that Biden was ‘disoriented’ and ‘out of it,’ with other sources saying that in meetings, Biden would ‘occasionally be mumbling and not making much sense.’”
