Several doctors seem to be part of the developing consensus that former President Joe Biden’s advanced prostate cancer likely began several years ago — in the midst of his presidency — raising further concerns about an administration that fought against transparency in the decision-making and health concerns of its chief executive.
Joe Biden’s diagnosis with “aggressive” metastatic prostate cancer, which was announced by his personal office on Sunday, comes just about four months after the former president left office in January. It also comes as the former president and his staff are battling scrutiny again over the administration’s lack of transparency about apparent memory issues and fitness for office.
The renewed scrutiny on Biden’s age and memory lapses was spurred by the recent release of the interview tapes conducted by Department of Justice Special Counsel Robert Hur into the former president’s alleged mishandling of classified documents after he left the vice presidency. Those tapes reveal a sitting president who struggled to remember key details and dates, including the year he left office as vice president, the death of his son, and occasionally slurring his words and muttering, Just the News reported.
But, several doctors are saying the president’s condition almost certainly emerged years earlier—during Biden’s presidency.
