Biden decline was so bad he got lost in White House closet, whistleblower tells Senator

As more reports emerge about former President Biden’s alleged cognitive decline during his time in office, a Republican senator has made an explosive new claim: that Biden would sometimes get lost in a closet inside the White House while serving as commander-in-chief.
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., made the stunning claim on «Hannity» Friday, citing an unnamed Secret Service whistleblower who Hawley said was assigned to Biden.
«He [Secret Service member] told me that Biden used to get lost in his closet in the mornings in the White House,» Hawley said. «I mean, the guy literally stumbling around in the White House residence couldn’t find his way out of his own closet. The president of the United States. I mean, this is outrageous. We were lied to.»

BIDEN FAMILY MISLED PUBLIC, CONCEALED DETAILS ON SON BEAU’S CANCER DIAGNOSIS, NEW BOOK SAYS
Hawley said the claims were made to him while the senator was investigating the attempted assassination of Trump at a presidential campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July. A gunman’s bullet grazed the ear of then-candidate Trump while one attendee, Corey Comperatore, was fatally struck.
Hawley said the brewing scandal about the Biden administration’s use of an autopen to sign executive orders amounts to «one of the worst constitutional crises of our country’s history.»
«We need to find out who actually signed off, so to speak, on all those autopen signatures and all of those pardons and all of those clemencies.»

BIDEN SAYS HE COULD ‘BEAT THE HELL OUT OF’ AUTHORS OF NEW BOOK ARGUING HIS COGNITIVE DECLINE
«It’s a rogue’s gallery of crooks and criminals and terrible people, rapists and others, I mean who actually was doing that, we know it wasn’t Biden, he didn’t know anything about it. «we’ve got to figure out who was actually in charge cos it sure as heck wasn’t Joe Biden.»
President Trump on Friday said the autopen is going to become «one of the great scandals of all time» and said he can’t’ believe that a competent Biden would have ever signed off on many of his executive orders, particularly in terms of the border.

House Republicans, led by Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, launched an investigation earlier this month aimed at determining whether Biden, who was in declining health during the final months of his presidency, was mentally fit to authorize the use of the autopen. Comer said this week he was «open» to dragging Biden before the House to answer questions about the matter if need be.
Last week, Comer sent out letters to five of the former president’s closest confidants, including his former doctor in the White House, seeking further answers about Biden’s cognitive health while in office. All five have made contact with the Oversight Committee, but Comer has threatened subpoena power if they refuse to testify.

Hawley, meanwhile, also railed against left-wing media for failing to press the president or his office on instances of physical and mental lapses Biden showed while in public. The news comes as a new book by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson details the length at which those closest to Biden apparently went to cover up his limitations while in office.
«The press has a huge role in this… They’re supposed to report the truth,» Hawley said. «It’s what you do every night. It is not what the liberal media did though. They sold this country out for years and they did it for power and they need to be held accountable as well.»

El Congreso de Filipinas aprueba el proceso de destitución contra Sara Duterte

El Congreso de Filipinas aprobó este miércoles seguir adelante con un proceso de destitución contra la vicepresidenta Sara Duterte, lo que podría frustrar su carrera hacia el máximo cargo del país.
La hija del expresidente Rodrigo Duterte, encausado por la Corte Penal Internacional, anunció recientemente su candidatura para las elecciones presidenciales de 2028.
Ya había sido objeto de un proceso de destitución en la Cámara de Representantes el año pasado, pero la Corte Suprema lo desestimó por cuestiones de procedimiento.
Este miércoles, un comité del Congreso filipino aprobó por amplia mayoría remitir una acusación contra Sara Duterte a la Cámara de Representantes.
Se acusa a Sara Duterte de malversación y corrupción durante su gestión, así como de haber proferido una amenaza de muerte contra su antiguo aliado y actual presidente Ferdinand Marcos.
Según la Constitución filipina, si la Cámara de Representantes aprueba las acusaciones, esto activaría un juicio en el Senado.
Un veredicto de culpabilidad inhabilitaría a Duterte para ejercer cargos públicos y la apartaría de la contienda presidencial de 2028.
Su padre Rodrigo Duterte, presidente entre 2016 y 2022, enfrenta acusaciones de parte de la CPI por crímenes contra la humanidad durante la “guerra contra la droga” emprendida en su mandato que dejó miles de muertos.
El alto tribunal en La Haya celebró audiencias la semana pasada para determinar si se abre un proceso contra él.
Aunque todavía se avecina una audiencia de causa probable, Michael Tiu, profesor adjunto de Derecho en la Universidad de Filipinas, dijo a AFP que creía que nada descarrilaría el camino hacia una votación en la Cámara.
“Con la diferencia de 54-1 en la votación del comité, creo que es imposible que estas quejas de impeachment sean desechadas, dado que hay una gran diferencia y muchos vieron que las quejas tenían mérito”, dijo.
Los analistas han advertido que el anuncio presidencial de Duterte pesará mucho sobre los legisladores, obligados a evaluar las repercusiones de un voto contra alguien que aún puede ocupar el cargo más alto del país.
La supuesta amenaza de muerte contra Marcos surge de una conferencia de prensa nocturna en la que Duterte afirmó haber contratado a un asesino para matar al presidente y a miembros de su familia si él la mataba primero.
Aunque la vicepresidente dijo más tarde que los comentarios fueron malinterpretados, el legislador Gerville Luistro dijo el miércoles que las supuestas amenazas podrían desestabilizar las instituciones.
“Tienen peso. Crean miedo”, dijo.
Duterte y Marcos han estado involucrados en una pelea política de alto riesgo que estalló pocas semanas después de su victoria en las elecciones presidenciales de 2022, cuando a la vicepresidenta se le negaron sus carteras de gabinete favoritas y en su lugar se la nombró secretaria de Educación.
El mes pasado, el comité de justicia desestimó un par de denuncias de impeachment contra Marcos, dictaminando que las acusaciones de corrupción por un escándalo que involucraba proyectos falsos de control de inundaciones carecían de fundamento.

Iran’s senior clerics ‘exposed’ after building strike in Qom, succession choice looms

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Senior Iranian clerics would have been left «exposed» after an Israeli airstrike hit a meeting place where they were supposed to be convening Tuesday — days after a strike leveled the Tehran compound of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a defense analyst has claimed.
The clerics, members of the Assembly of Experts, had reportedly planned to meet at the location in Qom to deliberate succession plans for Khamenei, who was killed in the strikes, according to The Times of Israel.
«This second strike would be another embarrassment to what has been left of the regime,» Kobi Michael, a senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies and the Misgav Institute, told Fox News Digital.
«It indicates intelligence dominance and superiority because any movement is detected, meaning they would feel exposed,» Michael added.

«As of now, the leadership would feel insecure and hunted, with all of their plans collapsing one after another.»
«They would feel totally isolated and understand that the biggest risk might come from home — from a potential uprising next,» he added.
Israel Defense Forces spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin confirmed that the Israeli Air Force struck the building where senior clerics had planned to assemble, The Times of Israel reported.

It remains unclear how many of the 88 members were present at the time of the strike, according to an Israeli defense source cited by the outlet. The second strike on Iran’s leadership comes amid a broader military campaign.
As previously reported by Fox News Digital, U.S. forces have struck more than 1,700 targets across Iran in the first 72 hours of Operation Epic Fury, according to a U.S. Central Command fact sheet.
The campaign is aimed at dismantling Iran’s security apparatus and neutralizing what officials describe as imminent threats.
According to U.S. Central Command, targets have included command-and-control centers, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Joint Headquarters, the IRGC Aerospace Forces headquarters, integrated air defense systems and ballistic missile sites.

«We need strategic patience and determination, and in several weeks most of the job will be accomplished,» Michael added. «Even if the regime does not collapse, Iran will not be like we used to know.

«I assume that the U.S. and Israel will establish a very robust monitoring mechanism that will enable them to react whenever the regime tries to reconstitute its military capacities again.»
