Alex Thompson, co-author of the new Biden expose, said through his reporting he found that aides seemed to be willing to do 'undemocratic' things in order to hide Biden's cognitive decline, fearing that not doing so would be helpful for Donald Trump. (FOX NEWS SUNDAY)
"Now, whether or not history will judge them as being right for doing that, we will see. But this is also part of the reason why the White House was shielding [Biden] from as many people as possible, including cabinet secretaries."
Bream went on to question Thompson about an aide he spoke to who said Biden "just had to win and then could disappear" because Biden's "aides could pick up the slack." Bream described the quote as essentially "admitting" Biden shouldn't be running again.

Thompson and CNN's Jake Tapper have been doing the rounds discussing and promoting their new book titled "Original Sin," which has garnered a lot of attention for detailing what critics have said shows Biden's cognitive decline while he was in the White House was even worse than most people suspected.
The book has been compounded by other revelations showing Biden's cognitive abilities were likely hidden from the public by those closest to him.
