WASHINGTON — President Trump questioned Monday how doctors did not diagnose former President Joe Biden with advanced prostate cancer until after he had left office — accusing former White House staff of “not telling the facts.”
“I’m surprised the public wasn’t notified a long time ago,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office in his first on-camera statement about his predecessor’s diagnosis.
“This is dangerous for our country,” Trump added.
“There are things going on that the public wasn’t informed on.”
Biden’s office revealed Sunday that the 82-year-old former president was diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones, despite Biden having had annual physicals while in office that raised no alarms about the disease.
Trump called the diagnosis “very very sad,” but pointed out there were also doctors, including former White House physician Kevin O’Connor, who had claimed Biden was in top mental shape for years, before the public saw his diminished capabilities on full display at his first debate against Trump.
