Trump’s allegations have elicited immediate backlash. In a statement, Biden dismissed these claims as “absurd and untrue,” emphasizing that he personally made all significant decisions during his presidency, including pardons, executive orders, and policy directives. Biden characterized the allegations as a political diversion, accusing Trump of diverting focus from his own agenda, such as advocating for tax reductions for the affluent.
In his statement on Wednesday, Trump asserted that Americans were “deliberately shielded” from understanding who was genuinely making decisions during Biden’s administration. He labeled the situation as a “dangerous and troubling scandal,” heightening the rhetoric and demanding a comprehensive investigation.
To address the issue, Trump issued a memorandum directing White House counsel, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and other officials to ascertain whether a group of individuals colluded to mislead the public and unlawfully exercised presidential powers in Biden’s name.
Trump also highlighted Biden’s recently revealed prostate cancer diagnosis, implying that the former president was aware of his condition while still in office and intentionally concealed it. The intensifying conflict has once again heightened partisan tensions, with Biden denying any misconduct and critics accusing Trump of fabricating a scandal. The political and legal ramifications of the investigation remain uncertain.
