Peter Doocy Asks Karoline Leavitt If Trump Thinks Jill Biden Should Testify About Biden’s Decline

Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Thursday if President Donald Trump believes former first lady Jill Biden should be called to testify on her husband’s decline.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer subpoenaed former President Joe Biden’s personal physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, and several former White House officials to testify before Congress on the White House’s handling of Biden’s health. In response to Doocy’s question, Leavitt stated that Jill Biden was evidently “complicit” in covering up her husband’s health problems and should be called to testify.

“There’s some folks in President Biden’s inner circle who are now in talks with Republicans in Congress to give interviews on how they may have handled Biden’s decline. Is the president satisfied with aides only sitting for these transcribed interviews or would he like to see some kind of testimony from the former first lady, Dr. Biden?” Doocy asked.

“I think, frankly, the former first lady should certainly speak up about what she saw her husband and when she saw it and what she knew,” Leavitt said. “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 coverup and Jill Biden was certainly complicit in that coverup. 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 was fine. She’s still lying to the American people, she still thinks the American public so stupid that they’re going to believe her lies and frankly, it’s insulting and she needs to answer for it.”
