Biden’s Team ‘Kept Him Out of the White House’

Joe Biden’s team “covered up” his dementia by sending the former president on a series of lavish global trips. Knewz.com can reveal the objective from within the Biden camp was to keep him out of the Oval Office as much as possible, according to insiders, as his health began to wane.

That is why he was sent on so many trips, which cost U.S. taxpayers more than $8 million over a two-year period. “These figures and the extent of the trips show there is a clear argument that could be made there was a secret policy to actively keep Mr. Biden out of the White House as they came at a time when he was showing clear signs of decline, including memory loss,” a source said.

Biden’s fading health became apparent in 2023 when he struggled to recall key milestones from his own life during an interview with a Justice Department investigator. A recording showed how the Democrat appeared to have trouble remembering the year he left office as vice-president, or the date of his son Beau’s death. White House aides at the time denied the president had such memory lapses. Biden, 82, was questioned by Special Counsel Robert Hur’s team about why he had kept classified documents at his home and former office. The prosecutor ultimately decided not to charge the president despite finding he had retained classified material.

A ‘Well-Meaning, Elderly Man with a Poor Memory’

In a February 2024 report that provoked the ire of the White House and Democrats, Hur described Biden as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” The audio is an excerpt from interviews on two days in October 2023. The Biden Justice Department previously made available the transcripts following the release of the special counsel’s report in February 2024. The Biden administration refused to release the tape last year, calling it “constitutionally-protected law enforcement materials” and arguing that Republicans wanted to “manipulate” it for “potential political gain.” The Hur report’s release was a difficult moment for Biden at the beginning of his re-election campaign, highlighting one of his biggest political weaknesses: voter concerns about his age and lucidity. The then-president hit back at the time, insisting, “My memory is fine.”

It was previously revealed how Biden splashed out more than $50,000 of taxpayers’ cash on a celebrity-style visit of just one night to Robert De Niro’s trendy hotel chain. The former president’s pricey stays at the Hollywood icon’s Nobu empire form part of an $8 millon travel expenses bill. The mammoth spending sprees have been extracted from a 94-page Freedom of Information document detailing Biden’s travel expenditure over 2022 and 2023, which are attributed to travel costs, security and accommodation.

Biden’s Trip to Poland Cost Nearly $800K

Biden’s visit to Di Niro’s Nobu Warsaw in Poland in February 2023 made a particularly huge dent in public money, costing taxpayers $50,712.35 from February 21 to 22, 2023. Taxpayers also footed the bill for National Security Advisor Jacob Sullivan. The trip to Poland cost nearly $800K, taking into account other hotel stays during the eye-wateringly pricey visit. However, it was far from Biden’s most expensive trip during this period. That honor goes to his three-day diplomatic trip to Jerusalem, Israel, and the Palestine in July 2022. It cost just north of $1.2 million including a hotel stay totaling nearly $800,000, once again alongside his security advisor.
