White House Spox Urges Investigation Into ‘Lying’ Jill Biden: ‘She Needs to Answer For It’

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt hammered former First Lady Jill Biden during a Thursday briefing, urging an investigation into her for allegedly helping to cover up her husband’s decline while in office.

“Different topic. There are some folks in President Biden’s inner circle who are now in talks with Republicans in Congress to give interviews about how they may have handled President Biden decline. Is the president satisfied with aides only sitting for these transcribed interviews or would he also like to see some kind of testimony from the former First Lady Dr. Biden?” asked Fox News’s White House reporter Peter Doocy.

“I think, frankly, the former first lady should certainly speak up about what she saw in regards to her husband and when she saw it and what she knew, because I think anybody looking again at the videos and photo evidence of Joe Biden with your own eyes and a little bit of common sense can see this was a clear cover-up, and Jill Biden was certainly complicit in that cover-up,” Leavitt replied, adding:

There’s documentation, video evidence of her clearly shielding her husband away from the cameras. They were just on The View last week. She was saying everything is fine. She’s still lying to the American people. She’s still thinks the American public are so stupid that they’re going to believe her lies, and frankly, it’s insulting and she needs to answer for it.

The View’s Alyssa Farah Griffin spoke to CNN about the Bidens’ interview on her program in mid-May and declared, “I thought it was very unhelpful.”

Griffin told CNN’s Abby Phillip, “I asked the specific question about allegations of his cognitive decline. And he began to answer and then she jumped in for him. And I get it, as a spouse, you want to help your partner, but that was his moment to knock out of the park any fear that he has cognitive decline, and it played into. Basically the worst assumptions, that he can’t finish sentences and she had to help him out.”
