June 5, 2025 - 06:21

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday directed an investigation into Republican claims of a "conspiracy" to conceal Joe Biden's alleged cognitive decline while in office. The move escalates Trump's ongoing criticisms of the current administration, as he seeks to highlight concerns over Biden’s mental acuity.

Trump’s directive comes amid increasing scrutiny from some Republican lawmakers who argue that there has been a systematic effort to downplay Biden's cognitive abilities. They assert that this perceived cover-up is detrimental to national discourse and transparency.

The inquiry aims to gather information regarding the administration's communications and actions relating to Biden's health, particularly focusing on public statements and media coverage. Trump's supporters have rallied around the issue, claiming it is essential for voters to be fully informed about the capabilities of their leaders.

As the investigation unfolds, it is expected to reignite debates about the mental fitness of public officials and the responsibilities of political leaders to disclose health information.
