Eugene Daniels, the White House Correspondents Association president and MSNBC contributor, is asking why anyone should believe members of former President Joe Biden’s staff anymore after they lied for years.
Former Cabinet secretaries in the Biden administration have started saying they were kept away from the former president for months as part of an effort by his inner circle to hide his decline, but Daniels is questioning their complicity.
In the book “Original Sin” by CNN anchor Jake Tapper and his co-author Alex Thompson, several former Cabinet members were quoted on what they experienced during that time.
“For months, we didn’t have access to him. There was clearly a deliberate strategy by the White House to have him meet with as few people as necessary,” one former Cabinet member said.
“At one rare meeting during that time,” that Cabinet Secretary was “shocked by how the president was acting. He seemed ‘disoriented’ and ‘out of it,’ his mouth agape,” the book said.
Thompson spoke about what the former Cabinet secretaries said when he appeared on MSNBC this weekend, and Daniels questioned why they should be believed.
“But why should people trust them now, right? Because I don’t know who these cabinet secretaries were, but maybe they probably want to work in a different administration. They want to be on K Street,” Daniels said.
“They want be at some think tank. Why should anyone trust them when they spend all this time? Apparently no one got this information and not telling anybody. Now they have a lot to say,” he said.
“I mean, it’s a fair question, and I think, you know, I would just encourage people to read the book. It’s also why we didn’t just trust one cabinet secretary, right. I mean we tried to get as many as possible. But I think it’s fair question why they did not speak out, and, I can tell you, there was some self-reflection in our interviews, and think they’re still sort of tortured about it,” Thompson responded.
“At the end, their normal answer, believe it or, you can take it for what it’s worth, but their answer usually was, if we spoke out, it wasn’t going to change him from running, it was only going to help Trump,” he said.
